ABOUT

Looking for a drummer for a project, a session studio recording, or a pinch-hitting drummer for a last-minute gig? I'm a versatile drummer with a vast repertoire. I've played almost every major rock hit from the 70s to today. My preferences are classic rock, country (old and new), hard rock, metal, alternative, pop, dance, and blues.

I have many album recordings under my belt, and I've performed hundreds of gigs, from small venues such as local bars or small weddings to large festivals in front of as many as 10,000+ people. I've also played in many tribute and cover bands. Some of these include:

* Led Zeppelin
* The Who
* Black Sabbath
* Dio
* KISS
* Bon Jovi
* Pearl Jam
* Ghost
* Blue Rodeo
* The Eagles
* AC/DC
* George Strait
* Green Day
* Pink
* Metallica

Today, I'm the VP of Growth Marketing at Drumeo, an online drum learning service and community serving 88,000 active drummers worldwide.
