NEW INTERVIEW SOON!

This Thursday, October 1, I will once again join Shane Christopher Neal on his Industry 45 show – with an air-date to be determined. I had a blast the first time, and I expect round 2 to be just as much fun. Also, now that the show is available on iTunes Podcasts, my first appearance will soon be available there (it’s been available on YouTube – the link is on my interview-podcast page). I’ll update this page when I know of the broadcast date of my interview – stay tuned!

PODCAST/INTERVIEW PAGE UPDATE

Hey kids! Just a quick note here to say that I’ve updated a couple links on the Podcast/Interview page, since over time, shows move their URL’s around. So, as of September 2020, everything is up to date. For now, I’m keeping busy teaching my drum students, one of them being my buddy Rob Hammersmith from Skid Row, and keeping up a big presence on the dreaded social media sites in order to stay relevant. Let’s hope we all get back to playing shows ASAP!!

STICK A FORK IN 2020

Well, as most of you know, this year has been a wash for live performances. Obviously, there’s nothing we can really do about it. I’ve had recent events and gigs that look like they were going to happen during this summer, only to later be cancelled. The only thing we can do seems to be to use social media for showing clips of past live shows and other clips we do at home. So, since there’s really not much to report here this year, keep checking my social media sites, where I try to post things on a daily basis! Let’s hope we can get out and do live performances as soon as possible! Me cruise.jpg

NEW PROMO VIDEO NOW ON YOUTUBE

Hey kids – I’ve updated my promotional video and posted it on my YouTube channel. You can now check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcPsw2z4vfw

2020 – The Summer That Was

Just a quick note to wish everyone well during these wacky times of 2020! For obvious reasons, there hasn’t been much to update. Gigs that were supposed to happen have been cancelled. As of now, the next show for me is a big outdoor festival in Lima, NY on July 31. Hopefully that will still happen! In the meantime, stay safe!

I’m on board with No Nuts Cymbal Sleeves!

I’m happy to say that recently I hooked up with Bill McFadden of No Nuts Cymbal Sleeves to officially come on board and also try out some new products of theirs! There are many benefits to using the cymbal sleeves, including less dampening of the cymbals as they ring, as well as much quicker and tear down time when setting up!
