Well, It all started with liqueur....
suddenly I was the only one sober enough to make it sound good enough.
and then someone suggested I tweak some knobs for a living.
So here I am.
No, seriously. I've been very fortunate to have been included in some ridiculous sessions and to have met some amazing artists. It's all relative, but different all the same. I'm very happy to be in the drum network, because now I don't have to worry as much about my drumming chops (ZERO)
I'm currently writing very little since I've had a bunch of engineering work that has kept me from playing. I do enjoy collaborating with folks and look forward to doing so with you here in the drum network.
