Coolest Musical Experience: Some cool memories I have were always being the house band for high school events, playing at Shoretown Ballpark, and recording our first album at age 12

Favorite Band When I was 13: Metallica, Nirvana, AC/DC

I’ve been drumming since 2003, playing everything from backyard jams to full-time shows. Long before that, it was just me, some pots and pans, and a love for rhythm I couldn’t ignore.

My sound is a blend of reggae, rock, and a bit of hard rock. My style is shaped by a range of bands, from Metallica to Rebelution. I believe that great drummers don’t just keep time and create a beat; they feel the music and help others feel it too. Whether you’re brand new or looking to sharpen your skills, we’ll focus on groove, creativity, and confidence behind the kit. My lessons are relaxed, fun, and designed to help you build your own sound and style. Let’s jam!
