About Me

Hello Everyone, I am from Philadelphia and have been playing drums since grade school. I have been able to play some great music with many talented performers, (Dennis De Young, Carl Anderson, Clint Holmes, Ben Vereen, Leslie Uggams and Jack Black) to name a few. I have done prerecords for The American Music Awards as well as The Academy Awards, dozens of TV show Themes and some jingles too. Played for Broadway shows Lion King, Swing, Follies, Jesus Christ Superstar and Dream Girls and many others. I currently enjoy a vast array of musical situations, club bands , jazz concerts, recording work and concert work. I taught drums at the Armed Forces School of Music (seven years in the U.S. Marines), Dick Grove School of Music and Day Jams Summer Music Camps.I am now working on my own educational series of drum books. My latest concerts are with Expose... Three incredible singers who had lots of top 10 hits and now have reunited after some time off. Come check us out if you can, we will be touring and doing concert dates in 2007. I look forward to posting video and mp3's of my work.....Thanks
