Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My drumming style is powerful, groovy, and rock-solid—built to elevate any track with energy and precision. I focus on delivering tight, in-the-pocket rhythms that drive the song without overpowering it. Whether live or in the studio, I bring a dependable, dynamic feel that supports the music and keeps everything locked in.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I’d jump at the chance to lay down grooves for Collective Soul, locking into their punchy, melodic rock with driving rhythms that lift those big choruses even higher. On the flip side, working with Whiskey Myers would let me blend gritty Southern-rock swagger with deep-pocket country feel—adding tasteful fills and solid backbone while letting their storytelling shine. Both collaborations would be a perfect fit for my blend of power, precision, and song-first drumming.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I play drums on a wide range of country and rock music, blending solid groove with just the right amount of edge. From driving, high-energy rock beats to laid-back, pocket-focused country rhythms, I adapt my playing to serve the song and bring it to life. Whether it's classic tones or modern sounds, I aim to add feel, power, and personality to every track.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Using a mutli-band compressor to duck only the specific frequencies that need to be reduced.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I always do my best to serve the song and project as needed.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: There are too many to list but my top influences include John Bonham, Bobby Rondinelli, Brian Tichy, Mickey Dee and Jeff Hogg.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: As a drummer, I bring powerful, dynamic, and versatile playing to every project, tailored specifically to each client's vision. Whether it’s tight, pocket grooves for studio recordings, explosive energy for live performances, or creative percussion for unique tracks, I deliver professional, reliable results every time. My focus is always on elevating the music while locking in with the feel and flow of each artist’s style.
