About Me



I began drumming at the early age of 4 and haven't stopped yet!!! my gigs have consisted of everything from polka dancehalls to texas honkeytonks to festivals all around the world and as many jazz clubs and recording studios as i can get myself into!!! i have played with wynton marsalis(a dixieland gig no doubt!!),bleu edmondson(drums on the live cd 'one voice' and the new studio cd 'lost boy'), stoney larue, slide hampton, lamont johnson, phil woods, ben e king, freddie bryant, jon blondel, arturo o'farrill, peter yellin, lee rucker, kent kidwell, brian gorrell, and too many more wonderful musicians to add cause i'd run out of space!!! I am now the new drummer for dale watson and his lonestars, come out and see us!!! i currently play sonor designer and s-class drums and also a vintage gretsch kit on rare occasion and bosphorus cymbals and bopworks drumsticks exclusively.
