It all started for me at the age of 8 when I was playing clarinet in elementary school, we used to play concerts at other schools and there was this one that we played with that same schools orchestra and I think they were the only school in the valley that had a drum set...it was huge.
It was a massive 10 piece piano black yamaha with what seemed like 30 cymbals...I couldn't take my eyes off that thing and when the drummer started playing...I was hooked. I imediately went home to a couple of now long time friends and and started talking about bands and rock 'n roll. That same year I got my first kit for Christmas (yes I did the pots and pans) and within about a year and a half after that, beat the shit out of those drums.
Since then I've played in several projects expressing styles from country to jazz and have settled here all these years later with my profile and my current project Soul Objective. We're in the studio now getting some awesome tunes ready for release early next year...
