About Me:
 
I had a great childhood. My parents are loving. I started playing drums when I was 8 years old. I've always had excellent teachers and I've always enjoyed music. I have a Bachelors of Music degree from West Virginia University and a Master's degree from Manhattan School of Music. I take lessons on instruments on which I need guidance.
I like to run, rollerblade, cycle, and eat. I'm a good cook. I enjoy working on and learning new music. The more challenging, the better.
I've been a New York City based freelancer since 1978.

"Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable."
~Walt Disney~

Have a great day!

Thanks mate :) likewise for the sub and your videos, i like how youve done the music, and your skill is quite amazing. I will see, the visuals are good for your stuff. I don't know what i'll do next, may post a video from my hsc after i've done it, but that may be quite a while - must focus on school haha.
