About Me

Percussion brings music alive; adding dynamics, flavour and flair. A hi-hat, a snare, a triangle here an there, Middle Eastern Beats, interlockin' feats, a shake, a flam, a slap a jam.Drummer / percussionist. I drum, I dance I drum bit more. Currently bringing tap dance to my drum set up with the Bright Size Gypsies. I also do lot's of session work -live and studio. Been playin about 10 years.
