He also joined the percussion staff of Atlanta CV Drum and Bugle Corps where he instructed the tenor line during their 2017 season.

Zach moved to Nashville shortly after that season and found steady work as a live and session drummer playing with acts such as Forever Johnny Cash Tribute, Whole Lotta Zeppelin Tribute and other country artists. During his first couple of years in town Zach also worked for the Pearl Corporation.

Currently, Zach is touring with Capitol recording artist Riley Clemmons. Zach has been Riley’s drummer for a few years now and with her growing career and already half a billion global streams the future is looking very bright.
