I am a drummer of 25 years with extensive experience in session and live work. I have the dexterity to play all types of music and offer a musical and visceral style of playing. I have a kit and can travel.
My playing is mainly improvisatory, but I can nail down parts, if required. Some of my current influences are Mark Guiliana, Ari Hoenig, Chris Dave, and Brad Mehldau.
I also have extensive experience in recording and performing piano, bass, and voice. I compose all types of music, as well.
