I'm a New York City transplant. I have been playing drums and percussion since I was 15. For many years, I was part of my dad's renowned band in NYC. Later on, I performed and toured with many blues, rock and latin artists. I've studied with some legendary drummers, including Henry Adler and Sum Ulano. I currently gig with some terrific groups, including Ottawa's UNO band and Latin Sound Machine. I am hard-working, easy to get along with, with my own gear and wheels. My schedule is pretty open, and I hope to connect with established musicians who need a drummer or percussionist on a regular or occasional basis.
