About Me

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&n bsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspWelcome to my new drum page...
NEWS (FEBRUARY, 2010):
I haven't updated in a long time but I have been doing a lot of sessions for different people and playing some live shows here and there as well.
Producer Ted Richardson brought me into his great place, CEDAR STREET STUDIOS, to drum on a session last week, and now I am doing 3 sessions there this week alone, so it looks like I am going to be doing a lot of work over there with him.
At some point, I'll be putting up some new songs up here. Until then...
