Biography

I am from New York, but currently live in Yangon, Myanmar.

I pride myself on having my own style of drumming. My goal is to make a song sound better by being part of the song and understand what is going on. I like to add a drum line that not only fits, mixes well and sounds good, but is somewhat unique... I am a songwriters drummer, because I myself like to write...I want to make everyone else sound better...afterall I control the time!

my major influences are:

Bonham
Paice
Peart
Gadd
Cobham
Don Famularo
Benny Greb
Roger Taylor
Omar Hakim
Phil Collins

& Charlie Watts

recording devices

I record using Apple GarageBand
with Midi drum drivers

I achieve my results by layering (stacking) up to 4 different drum kit tracks.

I then go back and add single tracks for emphasis (snare drum track, cymbals track etc...).

All of my drum kit tracks have been customized by me using Apple MainStage.
