About Me

I am a drummer living and working in the Philadelphia area.

I am passionate about all types of music. I've been a musician all my life but didn't really get serious about things until 1982 when I started playing and never stopped.

I like playing many musical styles but feel most comfortable playing music that has some room to breathe, where I get to lay back and be more colorful. I am more of a groove player. I am a very good listener and play what the song needs even if it is as simple as a tamborine and nothign more.

I have had the honor of studying with some amazing teachers, most notably Al Ipri (who was a student of George L. Stone) and Robert Brosh and continue to learn from all the great musicians whom I get to play with.

I currently play a beautiful set of rosewood Sonor Lite drums and use a variety of Paiste and older Zildjian cymbals as well as misc. other things I have to bang on. If I am not playing my Sonor's you will find me rockin' out on my Yamana Absolute Birch Nouveau, red sparkle.

I am always looking for great music to get involved with so feel free to hit me up.

Thanks,
Charles
