Hello All! I currently enjoy the challenges
of playing drums in a Jazz/Rock fusion atmosphere, playing
with bands such as - Solar Wind, Dominant
Plague, KGB and additional more improvisational projects
such as Hussong's, Farticus, Lapiz, and Chinaco.
I am inspired by drummers such as Dennis Chambers,
Vinnie Colaiuta, Virgil Donati, Rayford Griffin,
Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Frank Briggs,
Bill Bruford, Gary Husband, Simon Philips,
Mike Clark, Dave Weckl, Kirk Covington, Steve Smith,
Marco Minnemann, Phillip Collins, and maybe
even "a little" Neil Peart in my younger years.
In the studio I play Yamaha Custom Maple drums
consisting of 8",10",12" Mounted Toms,
14" and 16" Floor Toms, 13" Weckl Custom Maple
Snare, 14" Yamaha Brass Snare,
22" Bass Drum w/double pedals, plus a host
of electronic triggers and pads.
.For live applications, I use a Sonor Force
3000 drum set consisting of 10",12",13" Toms,
16" Floor Tom, 14" Snare, and 22" Bass Drum
w/double pedals.
My cymbals consist of a 22" K Custom Ride,
22" A Custom Ride, 18" Thin Crash,
16" Brilliant Thin Crash, 16"China Boy, 15"
Paper Thin Crash, 14" Paper Thin Crash,
14" New Beat Hi-Hats, 10" and 8" Splash cymbals,
all made by - Zildjian.
I am currently recording for the new CD "4
Square" with Solar Wind.
In addition to playing the drums, I also function
as a executive producer,
recording engineer, and owner/operator of
Soundscapes
Studios.
