Drumming means to me:
I wouldn’t know most the people in my life now if I hadn’t started playing drums, and I definitely wouldn’t have experienced all the things I have (and hopefully will experience in the future). So I’d say it means just about everything…
Advice for up and coming drummers:
What you don’t play is just as important as what you do play – don’t be afraid to sit back.
How would you describe yourself:
A perfectionist, a bit weird, and always up for a laugh.
When I look back on my life one day, I would like to be able to say:
I might be deaf, but I’m so glad I never went to work in a suit.
