About Me

A drummer from NYC, living in AZ, play 7 nights a week, open to touring opportunities. Hard working, easy to get along with, exceeds expectations and 100% professional!

I am a drummer from New York City. I have played with various groups around the country during my career. Some of the most incredible musicians I got to play with was when I headed up my own jazz quartet in NYC. We played the same club for two years straight and the core of the band was comprised of Joe Magnarelli on trumpet, Ben Wolfe on bass & Joel Weiskopf on piano . We would have amazing people sub from time to time or just sit in...some notables are Jerry Weldon on sax, Billy Drummond on drums, Tom Harrell on trumpet, Essiet Essiet on bass, Harry Connick Jr. on piano. During my years in NYC, I recorded 4 CDs & toured on the road. I had the opportunity to work with two well-known producers, Jim Gaines (Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn,Coco Montoya, Tower of Power) and Terry Manning (Lenny Kravitz, Joe Walsh, Norah Jones, Joe Cocker). I also had the opportunity on one of the recordings to work with Kim Wilson from the Fabulous Thunderbirds My experiences in the past have involved a lot of Jazz because of living in NYC and I was also exposed to a huge amount of Blues. I am being called in to do all sorts of recording projects because of my versatility and abilities to play all genres of music. I am now open to getting back on the road with the right artist on the right project. I look forward to seeing you in the audience at one of my future shows.
