About Me

This is my music site, this site is for people who enjoy the way i play drums and the bands i have played with or play for. This is not my personal page.I started playing drums around 12 I think. I am inspired by many people but some of my all time favorites would be Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Tommy Lee, Morgan Rose, Shannon Larkin, Dave Grohl, and Josh Freese. You can see elements of all of these great drummers in my own style, laying down a great groove always comes first, but just as important is putting on a good show. Anyone who has seen me play knows i am not the quiet drummer who sits in the back, I am a drummer to watch as well as listen to.while in high school i played with breakaway and recorded a self titled LP. After leaving them i joined with 8KOunt out of Dayton Ohio, we tore up the midwest for three years. Our debut disk cornered received rave reviews across the country. when opportunity knocked i answered, I now live in Hollywood, CA and play drums for Blacklist Union as well as do free lance work during our down time recording for any one who needs it. while with Blacklist Union i have done several national tours, been on national radio, and had reviews in national and international magazines. I also play with Confederacy of Horsepower.I left Blacklist Union in Dec. 2008 to pursue bigger and better projects.I would like to work with everybody, although i am a rocker at heart i love playing all styles of music from bluegrass to industrial.If you would like to talk about a project please contact me through this site
