Hi. Glad you found this small bracket of my world on the internet. It's mostly about drums but there's also the more personal side of me that comes out here. This site doubles as my blog of sorts. Maybe I'll make you laugh, maybe I'll piss you off. It's all good! Just keep reading!

So You're probably wondering "Who is this guy"? Well, I'ma tell you what I'm all about in a very short narrative.

I've played drums as far back as memory would allow. There's pics of me playing when I was 1 year old. My first kit was a 1964 Ludwig Joe Morello model (13", 16", 22" 14 snare) which I still have.

Supernatural Cymbals

I'm proud to announce that I now play Supernatural Cymbals.

I've been searching for a cymbal company that has fresh sounds of many varieties and flavors, and I've finally found the one. Supernatural cymbals provide me with sounds that are rich and warm. They blend with the music I'm playing exactly to my "inner ears' specifications". I'm glad I waited to find these guys....but really they were there all along...
