I won a Grammy in 2019 for the New Age Album, "Opium Moon". I have 40+ years experience playing on over 1000 movies, including Frozen 1 and 2, Moana, Black Panther, X-Men, Transformers and Batman. Countless TV episodes and records. I am both a session player and a live musician. I have performed with the LA Phil and many other local orchestras.
I have my own recording studio. I can track remotely or we can work together in person at my studio if you're in the area. I have a large amount of percussion on site. Here is a partial list of my instruments: 2 Drum Sets, Taikos, Surdos, Djembes, Dumbeks, Dhol, Congas, Bongos, Shakers, Concert Toms, Snares, Concert Bass Drum, Marimba, Vibraphone, Bells, Shakers, Tambourines, Woodblocks, etc. For specific inquiries please send me a message (too many instruments to list).
I have a Masters in Percussion Performance from Cal Arts. I have toured with Josh Groban, Game of Thrones Live, Doobie Brothers, Rita Coolidge, Anne Hampton Calloway, and Three Dog Night.
For the purposes of this site, I specialize in tracking drum set and percussion remotely for songs and scores that require live percussion.
