I am an experienced solo performer and can accompany any act as a percussionist or drummer, with or without written charts/sheet music, although music is always preferred. This includes top 40 hits, classical works, world music and improvised performing.
As a freelance artist who performs in a variety of styles, I am heavily influenced by a variety of music.
As a child, the music of the 60s' and 70s was always on the radio. The studio drummers of that era heavily influenced the way I play and hear music, including the recording work of Hal Blaine, Jim Gordon, Jeff Pocarro and Walfredo Reyes. As a classical percussionist, Ted Atkatz and David Skidmore were great inspirations as well.
