Meet the Act

I live and breathe drumming. I don’t smoke, drink, or take drugs, and I’m a god fearing man. Drumming is my only addiction. I currently work as a full time mechanic at a regular 9-5 Mon-Fri job but luckily I have the coolest boss in the world that allows me to take time off for gigs. Every day when I clock out of work all I can think about is running to my rehearsal space to practice or meet with one of my bands. I was a full time musician before the pandemic, and every day of my life afterwards I’ve dreamed of being able to do this full time once again. Drumming and reading/writing musi ... c is my biggest passion and I strive to be the best drummer and musician that I can be on a daily basis. This is the only thing I want to do and want to earn my way into a life where I can pay my bills with my talent. Right now my main focus is getting gigs, and connecting with my fellow local Vegas drummers. I am the ambassador of a group I created called “The Las Vegas Shed Group” or also known as “The Shed Temple”. This group’s main focus is drum sheds which means we go to rehearsal studios or public places and set up 2 or 3 kits and invite all the local drummers to have a drum battle, or what I like to call a “drum conversation”. Harboring this group has gotten me in touch with some of the best drummers in the world such as the likes of Matt Gartska and Eric Moore, whom I’ve had the pleasure of training with in a drum shed.
I love to perform so so much. I like to call myself a “vibe enhancer.” If you work with me, expect me to work well with others, play to the room, and enhance the energy of the environment whether that’s playing with a band, or even just jamming by myself to some tracks. I have no problem being front and center if I don’t have a band to back me. I love to make people laugh. Being goofy is my way of fusing my personality into my playing. I love to add flare by making funny faces and doing insane drum fills where appropriate, or doing stick tricks. That is how I keep the night fun. However, my focus has and always will be having impeccable timing, and remaining musical at all times. I’m great at reading a room, and still retain my ability to take every gig as serious as necessary. I hope to work with any and everyone that has a need for hard hitting, masterful drumming in their project or at their event. Cheers! Read More
