About Me

i play drums. i travel a lot. i get to meet a lot of interesting people. i am the self proclaimed ambassador of good will. i am opening a drum studio with my partner, rikki styxx called circle city studios. if you want to learn how to play drums (or if you already know how) come by and check us out. i drink coffee everyday. i like the smell of night blooming jasmine. i love sleeping in and taking long hot showers. i like riding anything with two wheels. i will go camping anytime anywhere. i really dig snowboarding. i have friends that love me even when i miss their birthdays or forget to call them back. i love the lakers. i like live music and try to go out and see bands when i'm not too burned out. sometimes i go see bands even when i am too burned out. i'm into boats and fishing. i like reading and admire the beat writers. i like taking pictures of things but i don't know what i am doing. but that's ok. i have lived in SoCal all my life and i dig it here. i talk to my mom and dad almost every day. i'm concerned for our troops in iraq. i like sunshine and baked goods.
THE ART OF SURF DRUMMING Instructional DVD is now in it's final stages of editing and will be out soon they tell me. Featuring Bob Colwell, Lee Kix, Dusty Watson and Tracy Longstreth. Tips on technique, syncopated accents, counting, facilitating the kit, speed enhancement and more. Interviews with Paul Johnson, Jim Pash, Ron Eglit, Richard Delvy,and more. Also tons of live footage. What started out as an instructional DVD, has turned into an incredible documentary of the history of surf music! A great journey for all surf music enthusiasts and I think you are going to totally dig it.
We need volunteers! Get involved with your community through the energy of DRUMMING!
