I have ADD-HD which means I have a hard time focusing but when I do,...it's amazing.

About Me

One very laid-back, down to earth drummer boy here who likes to kick it with my crew. I enjoy wine, women, song, the sun and the moon and a good ol' cup of joe. Pretty much your textbook Pisces character. I'm a working drummer here in the city. I've played just about every style of music known to man specializing in rock, r/b, and jazz. East coast transplant of 10 years and still loving LA. Things I do for fun: Hollywood Bowl, beach volleyball, movies, dinner parties, comedy shows, and of course jammin with other musicians. Check out my calender below to see where I'm playing next. The song you hear playing is from the new release by my brother Charles Xavier, "The X Man Cometh" and features myself on drums.
