First of all, there isn’t anything better .. being on the road with a few guys that you really gel with, experiencing new things, new places, new cultures.  New experiences help direct our moral compass …

Who are you playing for?


January 22, 2010

The other day I went out to some lockouts and saw a friend of mine’s band. I hadn’t seen this band before and it’s been a few years since I’ve seen him play. Their lockout was really tricked out and rad which made me a little jealous, but when it came time to play I noticed a few little interesting quirks. I felt like the guys were playing to impress which I suppose is a great form of flattery, but the songs came off a little uneven. This wasn’t a show so it’s tough to be too critical, but we all tend to play like we rehearse.       <Click on this story’s header for more.>

As a drummer the most important thing to keep in mind is time.

4th of July w/ Boy Rekless


January 12, 2010

Playing in front of 7,000 is a really rad feeling. This gig was the kind of moment where you’re really worried that it isn’t coming to come off right, but when we hit the stage it’s a little too late to think much about that. We were slotted just before the fireworks show at the Coliseum in downtown LA on the 4th of July.

Good times!!


Am I rockin’ enough for you out there?


January 12, 2010

When I moved to Los Angeles I was really ready to hit the music scene really hard and get my career in gear. I had been auditioning for several local bands all over the greater Los Angeles area but I noticed that many times I would hear from the bands I was auditioning for that I wasn’t hitting the drums loud enough, or it looked like I wasn’t that into the music.   <Click on this story’s header for more.>
