Need Drums?

About Me

I'm a drummer from New York, now living in Los Angeles. I've been drumming for 17 years and playing in bands for almost as long.

I've studied with many great teachers, but the leaders of the pack are Mark Edwards in New York and Charlie Waymire ("The Basher") in Los Angeles.

In addition to all the playing, I've worked in the music industry for seven years in NYC and L.A. at Universal Records, The Harry Fox Agency, Warner Music Group and APM Music.

Currently I'm playing drums for an L.A.-based metal band called Among The Infected and I'm also available for lessons, recording sessions, and shows. My gigs get posted here too so stay tuned!
