About Me

I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a bachelors degree in Music Production and Engineering. I've been playing drums for 12 years and recording for 5. I'm looking to record drums at my home studio as well as gig and record around the New York Metro area.
I play all backbeat styles including Rock, Funk, Metal, Hip-hop, Country and Reggae. I have a great sounding 6 piece DW kit, multiple snare drums, and an array of high end Sabian cymbals. I learn very quickly by ear and can read pretty well. I have extensive touring experience and I give a great visual performance from behind the kit.I've combined the arts of drumming and engineering to offer a unique service; the ability to record myself playing drums on other people's projects from the comfort of the Koop, my home studio. Well-recorded drum sounds are my deepest passion and I pride myself on my ability to get them. Either come to the studio or send me your files over the net and I'll add professional quality acoustic drum tracks, giving life and depth to your musical creations. By combining the drummer and the studio into one package I save you a lot of money and the hassle of finding and scheduling these as two separate entities. Should you have a drummer already, I offer just the studio and engineering services with flexible rates.
