About Me
Since 2010 I have been a professional session drummer, specializing in hard swinging Hard Bop, and funky
Post=Bop Jazz, as well as helping soulful vocalists perform their Neo Soul written material.
I have solid rudimental syncopated sticking, to go with my hypnotic Hip-Hop breakbeats, and funky drum shuffles.
Always in the studio with great rhythm sections and brass instrumentalists, providing live instrumentation for
artists, that prefer doing sessions, with the feel of a great live band.
