FREELANCE JAZZ SESSION DRUMMER Contact me via [email protected]

While growing up during the Golden Age of Hip-Hop and Neo Soul, I first began taking a few Bop Jazz drum lessons, concentrating on all 40 snare drum rudiments, and all 30 or so, Bop Jazz standards, that I still devouty practice today.

I'm constantly in the studio with great small combos, playing hard swinging Hard Bop Jazz, my absolute favorite Jazz sub-genre, with wonderfully talented bandleaders, and fellow musicians, in the great studios of southern Westchester County, and New York City.
