About Me

My current projects are playing drums for metallers, To The Bone and wanderers, the 16 Deadly Improvs. Both bands had new CD's out in 2008, which I'm very proud of. I also recently reformed Bald Red Lady and played a fun gig back in July. We're hoping to do more of that in the near future.Throughout my 26 years of drumming, I've recorded and played live with several bands including Exire, Bald Red Lady, Transilvia, Body, Treatments, The 16 Deadly Improvs, Jennifer Weiss, DIS & The DOR and others. Music is a huge part of my life. I have an undying love of metal and hard rock. At the same time I love improvisational, complex and mellow stuff as well. Anything that's musically dark with great lyrics and melody is cool by me. You could say I like to stick by the underdog bands. The music collection is large and varied.
I play Tama Starclassic Drums, Paiste Cymbals and Roland V-drums TD-10 kit.

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals- Wellmont Theatre Montclair, NJ 2/22/09

I am a recent convert to the music of Ryan Adams. It is not the music I typically listen to, however this guy is a major talent. Judging by the sold out crowd and great response, others are noticing a...

Kings X- Starland Ballroom- Sayreville, NJ 12/12/08

Arriving at the Starland on a cold Friday night in December, I was immediately met by an old band that I hadn't seen in quite some time (possibly '87 at The Showplace in Dover). TT Quick was onstage a...

Opeth- Nokia Theatre- NYC 9/18/08

I arrived at my new favorite venue, the Nokia Theatre in Times Square, to see a band that I had yet to see live (a rarity these days). I proceeded to the back of the theatre to the general seating are...

King Crimson- Nokia Theatre NYC 8/14/08

Let me start by stating that the Nokia Theatre is a beautiful place to see a show. It's situated in Times Square right next to MTV. The venue itself is actually below ground and is a comfortable and i...

Editors- Terminal 5- NYC 1/17/08

Not much else to say about this show since it was very much the same as when I'd seen them 4 months ago. However, Editors are getting a little bit bigger everytime I see them, as evidenced by the larg...
