About Me

My Dad was a drummer. I started playing when I was 11. I was raised in parts of Southern California and Flagstaff Arizona. I moved to Los Angeles in 2003. I have played in alot of different groups with alot of different people. Some include The Idyllists, The Wallpaper Airplanes, Kelly De Martino, Scrappy Hamilton, Lissie, and others. I love vintage gear. Right now my two drum kits are a early 60's ludwig and an early 70's ludwig. I'm interested in eventually owning some old Gretch's. I really enjoy playing live, I have played just about every venue in Los Angeles with the exception of a few. I also like to record alot depending on who is involved. Don't hesitate to send me a message or comment on the songs. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
