Have you ever wanted to check out drumming, whether behind a drum set or playing hand percussion (Djembe, congas, bongos)? If so, I’d love to work with you! I work with complete beginners to professional players and everyone in between. My rates are affordable and I can come to you or you are welcome to study with me at my studio. Click on the Lessons tab on the site for more information and getting started! 

New video of Jane Boxall and I premiering her composition “Young Particle” as part of her Particle series for two drum kits. Also, drum solo video by me featuring Afro Cuban / Latin grooves and the drum set part to the Black Page by Frank Zappa. Click on the Video page on the site and enjoy!

Take a click on the link below and check out the photos of Jane Boxall and I holdin’ it down on two drum sets as we perform Frank Zappas’ The Black Page and other contemporary percussion rep.
