About Me

This isn’t a band page. I’m not a band, I’m a drummer. My aim with this page is to promote the band or bands that I play in, and my drumming in general. I love to play as many different styles of music as I can, and I attempt to be as versatile as my abilities and experience will allow. That being said, if you need a drummer or percussionist; get in touch with me. I currently play for Weldon Henson, Moses and the Burning Bush, Jonathan Terrell, Tommy Blank and Canary. I’m always down for expanding my horizons and jamming with new folks. So, If you’re interested in collaboration perhaps we could work something out.
