I'm a drummer/engineer/producer looking to create new music either on stage or in the studio with other inspired people. I'm currently living in Philadelphia and have been working out of a wonderful studio named Kawari Sound. Kawari is a collective of engineers, including Adam Winokur, Karl Reiders, and myself, who have gone to great lengths to create an environment that inspires creativity; a great vibe with amazing sounds. Karl has been gracious enough to let me house some of my vintage gear at Kawari along side of his impressive list of top shelf recording equipment. Here is the list:
