October 11, 2026Oh What a Night!
When a drummer plays at a wedding event in NYC, he masters the show. Our night is still talked about years later because Sal was truly the heartbeat of the night. It was a concert of great standards and no one was seated during the entire night! He performed what we wanted and adapted to any requests that sounded like he'd been rehearsing them forever. That was testament that music is in his heart and his soul! I'd absolutely recommend him.

What to expect
Whatever your drumming entertainment needs are, I'm excited to make that happen. Feel free to message me with any requests or questions about your event.
About
I was born in Brooklyn, New York. I studied percussion at Berklee College of Music in Boston and then at Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. I enjoy making records each year and write/play drums in the bands "cats kill" and "in the meantime"
In addition to being a drummer/entertainer I'm a drum teacher in Brooklyn.
When I'm not drumming, some of my interests are, spending time with my kid, my cats, playing hockey (I'm a goalie), and old school video games.
Additional booking notes
I have a variety of drums, kits, in-ear monitors, snares and cymbals/percussion instruments that suit what the gig calls for. I am comfortable playing with or without a click track.

Set list
Let me know what song/set list requests you have. I know hundreds of songs, but am always learning more.
Influences and inspiration
I love music that makes people move, whether that is physically, or emotionally. I have a lot of respect for drummers that serve the song. One of my favorite things as a drummer is feeling the energy of the room and making the person standing in the back corner want to move their feet and smile.
