MUSICAL APPROACH

HEAD

KNOWLEDGE & FOCUS

A career built on deep preparation and mental clarity. This represents my ability to master diverse musical vocabularies, internalize advanced concepts, and provide the absolute focus required to execute high-stakes performances.

◆

HANDS

TECHNICAL MASTERY

Over three decades of physical discipline. Technical mastery refined to the point that physical execution is secondary to the music. I provide a rock-solid foundation that locks in and stays there, regardless of the tempo or style.

◆

HEART

EMOTIONAL RESONANCE

The Master Pillar. I believe that Head and Hands must be used in total service of the Heart. This is my unique musical voice—it is the difference between simply playing the notes and creating a deep, resonant pocket that elevates the entire ensemble and communicates the true meaning behind the music.

I apply this same philosophy of Head, Hands, and Heart to my private instruction, mentoring the next generation of drummers to master the technical, mental, and emotional sides of the instrument.
