I'll put my years of experience and attention to detail to work to craft the perfect drum track for your music. Using quality drums, mics, and outboard gear. We'll collaborate closely every step of the way, making sure we capture exactly what you're looking for. My ultimate goal is to give your music that ideal drum track it needs!
I now have access to an amazing Roland TD50x Electronic Drum Kit. If you are using drum software like EZ Drummer, Superior Drummer, Addictive Drums, SSD or any of the crazy cool drum samplers, and it's taking forever to get the part you want. Let me help. I can play a custom midi drum track for you, and save you a ton of time. And you get a one of a kind real drum track!

I grew up exposed to various musical genres at a young age, but Rock and Roll is at the forefront. My love for music led me to play the drums; I have played ever since, and drums are my passion. I draw inspiration from artists like Kiss, Rush, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yes, Judas Priest, Peter Gabriel, Seal, Elton John, Kate Bush, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, and even Mozart. The list goes on and on.
My drumming reflects my life experiences, emotions, and inspiration from the song. I experiment with different styles, sounds, microphones, and gear for drum recording projects. I let my intuition guide me when it comes to songwriting and recording. The best music comes from the heart. Capturing the best tracks for the song is my goal.
I've worked on so many unique projects over the years. Here are a few of the artists I have worked for in the studio and live:
Ian Paice - Deep Purple
Bob Ezrin - Alice Cooper - Larry Mullen Jr.
Howard Willing - Smashing Pumpkins - Cheap Trick
John McBride - Martina McBride
George Massenburg
Queen
Mick Mars
Accept - Michael Wagener
I love performing live and thrive on the energy of the audience. I have played in various venues, from small clubs to large concert halls. Some of the artists I've been able to perform and record with are Simmonz, Tom Keifer, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, The Reverend Horton Heat, Petra, The Legendary Shack Shakers, Prog Rock Orchestra, and Black Oak Arkansas, to name a few.
Here are some tracks I've played on. Check it out.
Here's another one Mike sent me a few weeks ago. I tried some different mic placement in the room, let me know what you think.
Here's one with Mike and I doing what we love. Drums recorded and mixed at my new space in Voss, Norway.
This is the first one Mike and I did from different continents! Nashville TN, USA to Voss, Norway.
This is a video audition for The Neal Morse Band several years ago. I was a ton of work and a lot of fun to do. Mistakes and all! What a great song! Enjoy.
