Influences: I could list people all day but to keep it short here's the 10 greatest influencers of me as a musician.
Jojo Mayer- The man never ceases to amaze me. Just a brilliant all round musician.
Chad Smith- My first real drumming influence. Just a superbly solid drummer.
Michael Andrews- Some of the best music i've ever heard.
Gavin Harrison- His subtle detail and inventive nature makes him a world renowned drummer and composer.
Benny Greb- Beautiful style and sound. Alongside Gavin Harrison, the two influence my drumming sound most.
James Maiden- A brilliant teacher who has helped me greatly with my attitude towards music.
Chris Adler- How metal drumming should be. Tasteful and creative use of the double bass drums.
