Denver people!!! I’m doing a drum clinic for Rupp’s Drums on Saturday, June 16th at 2pm! It will be at the Toad Tavern in Littleton. Call Rupp’s for tickets: 303-756-5777. This is a HUGE thrill for me, as I BOUGHT MY FIRST DRUM from Bob Rupp when I was 11 years old!!! My entire drumming career started at Rupp’s…long ago 🙂 I’m so looking forward to going back to do a clinic where it all began. Hope to see you there!
Big thanks to Alex Simpson, Bob Rupp, Drum Workshop Inc. (DW Drums), SABIAN, Evans Drumheads and Promark!!!

Awesome 18.5 hour session yesterday with the almighty Jason Achilles Mezilis at Organic Audio Recorders! Tracked drums and percussion on 7 songs for 4 artists: 4 tracks for the always incredible Joshua Bloomberg, as well as killer songs by Jason Saracco, Jason Ebs and Jason Achilles Mezilis. SUPER fun day; always an honor to work with all of these cats 🙂
