During my formative years musically, I spent countless hours playing in church and in school band, where I learned about listening to what’s going on around me and playing specifically to serve a piece of music, as well as the technical proficiency to create moments and drive the bus musically. 

Fast forward many more years and I’m still just as passionate about relating to others via the medium of music. 

Playing drums has always been both a personal and relational experience for me. The joy of connecting with other people through music is unlike anything else that we as drummers experience. And in order to be fully present in the moment and to play my best, it has to feel right. That’s where Innovative Percussion shines - creating products that feel great to the player, so that they can focus on the one thing that matters: making music that connects with the listener and with the other band members.

I currently live in Nashville, TN and play for Copeland (Lakeland, FL) and Speak Low (Pure Noise Records, Los Angeles, CA).
