About Me:
 
I've been playing drums since 1974 when I was seven. I took lessons when I was ten for three years at a music conservatory. Later on in my teens and into my late 20s, I was in many types of bands, did gigs and toured. Then I took a break in '96 to start a family and business. I haven't been in a steady band since then, just the odd "fill in" gig. I'm still jamming with some of the ol' boys and having thoughts of posting some of the jams.

My deep interests in drumming, music, recording and electronics have inspired the creation of these drumming videos. I have always made people happy and excited when I play and being able to feature some of this stuff on YouTube and to share it with all of you has been awesome for me! A big Thank You to all of the viewers who have posted positive comments and everyone that has enjoyed my work. This inspires me greatly and I appreciate it very very much!
