About Me

I grew up in Stony Brook, Long Island (New York) and have had the passion of music running through my veins all of my life. I come from a very musical family. I've been listening and playing many forms of music for as long as I remember. My family has always had music and performing artists around the house and I've gotten my fill of all genres of music. Whether it was my brothers Rock, Funk or R&B music or my parents backyard parties with Live Salsa and Merengue bands blasting away till 2AM. It has all influenced me one way or another. I am a fan of all forms of music from 1940's - 2000's. For this reason I can say I'm versatile in playing most styles of music....

Music History:

I've toured internationally with several recording artists, most recently Julio Iglesias Jr. (currently on Gone Country). I have a Degree in Music from Five Towns College and have studied with some of the top drummers in the world. Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow /Black Sabbath), Chuck Burgi (Rainbow/Billy Joel), Rod Morganstein (Steve Morse/Winger).

My Recording Studio (Infinite Sound Studio)

My studio is always set up to record live drums and more.... For convenience, I can record my drums at my studio, your studio or send my tracks via file transfer anywhere in the world. Currently, my Drum Sounds and Performance can be heard on the Beddy Ford myspace page and Tommy Dalton myspace page. Check 'em out...They Sound Great!
