I am a drummer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer based out of Brooklyn, New York.

I own and operate Black Lodge Recording, one of Brooklyn's premier recording studios. Black Lodge is equipped with an array of amazing sounding drums as well as a microphone locker and list of outboard that would rival any of the city's best studios. I bring over two decades of experience as a drummer and over 15 years of experience as a recording engineer coupled with unlimited access to my own world-class recording facility to every project I work on.

Some notable recent albums I have contributed to as a drummer and/or engineer include Nick Hakim's "Will This Make Me Good" (Drums), Raveena's "Lucid" (Drums & Engineering) and Hannah Cohen's "Welcome Home" (Drums, Addl. Engineering)

My strengths are getting drum sounds appropriate for most indie/pop/rock/alternative projects. My skills as a drummer are specific to most of the recordings you can hear me on. I've toured extensively with a wide range of artists like Empress Of, Nick Hakim, Kimbra, Hannah Cohen, Mormor, and others, and bring this versatility to all my recording sessions as well. I also specialize in drum programming and am extremely proficient at Keyboards, Bass and Guitar.

I'm also now accepting mixing work, and will do a spec mix of your song for FREE!
