If you've got a great song, and want it to sound and feel great for release, please get it touch. I'm drumming on over 200,000,000 streams. Studio manager Mark will can fill you in on all the technical stuff, if you'd like.

With 30 years of recoding experience and a keen ear for what a song needs, I can deliver professional drum tracks with solid feel, interesting parts and textures, and tons of vibe. I'm also a super nice guy who's easy and fun to work with.

I am a drummer/producer of 10 years specializing in indie, rock, funk, and singer/songwriter, with my kit set up in a 70 year old church.

Session drummer available for touring, remote tracking, and/or studio dates. Extensive touring experience (most notably with Between Friends, and Twin XL) as well as access to a multitude of gear and recording equipment (primarily multi-tracking for live drums). Able to write and replicate drum parts for compositions of varying genres.

Groove is the most important part of a song. When I was coming up in bands I had the privilege of playing with Blake Mills and Matt Malley (Counting Crows) on sessions. I also learned a lot from the legendary Chris Currell of Michael Jackson. In production and drumming, I attempt to honor those great players and the grooves they create.

I'm a lifelong musician, from a family of musicians. As a multi-instrumentalist (drums, guitar, bass, saxophone, keyboards), I have a passion for clarity and balance in mixes that allows each instrument and voice to speak with its unique timbre, all to heighten the emotional quality and connection of the song. I'd love to work with you.
