the “Mission Statement”
i love sound....ALL sound....sound is of Him....
the nuances....loud, soft, shrill, pastoral....the dirt and grit,
the polished sheen....
EVERY opportunity i have to play is a NEW moment, a NEW creation.
a true GIFT....
i gladly pass that gift on.

What i use....
montineri custom drums, AGOP istanbul cymbals, pro mark sticks,
aquarian drum heads, keplinger metal works, engelhardt creations,
dp music jangly thangs.

for the most part, my prefered setups always include some vintage gear....
60’s ludwigs, older gretsch (from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s), 60’s sonors,
a slew of older (20’s-50’s) bass drums and snares, and of course,
a barrage of cymbals, bells and gongs.
worth mentioning are the cymbals of AGOP istanbul.
these craftsmen are still making cymbals in “the tradition”....by hand!
their cymbals are extremely unique and beautiful.

NO TWO SETUPS ARE EVER THE SAME and my goal is to always
SERVE THE ARTIST and the MUSIC!
