If you’re a drummer, you understand, you aren’t around your peers much. Man, is it great to be part of this brotherhood!

I’ll be playing with Sam Barlow and His True Blue Band at 5:30-7:00 tonight, couldn’t ask for better weather! C’mon out, plenty of shady spots to keep you really comfortable!

10 years ago today… if you know, you know.

Don’t overlook perfecting the “easiest” part of drumming.

The @soggypesoep was ready to dance the night away for the eve of 16 Septiembre! @fungimungle @jmungleoffical @funkman4 @epstratman @gigrocks4321

I’ve asked many drummers what there best advice to aspiring professionals is and this same advice came from @zorothedrummer , @greggdrums Bissonette, @jeffausdemore, Ed Pias, Dom Moio, @global2dom @vinnyappiceofficial Appice, @petererskine.official … it’s no wonder.

I know they m kind of a grouch sometimes, but I strive to be easy to work with and easy to be around on the job. When someone is vibing, it’s t gets in the way of the music. Sometimes when the vibe is weird, and the music isn’t happening the way it could or should, I reflect on “was I bringing in the bad energy tonight?”

If you’re not getting calls, and playing music is uncomfortable, no matter who else is playing, maybe it’s you.

Fun night with @billytownes915 Jim Foster and Jimmy Olivas at Landry’s!

Learn how to transition from a rock groove to a six-eight groove effortlessly. Start with the basic rock rhythm and then shift to counting in six-eight. Slow it down if needed and practice regularly to master the variations. Happy drumming! #drumming #musicpractice #sixeightgroove #beginnerdrummer #bettereveryday #drums #mapexdrums #shure #vicfirth #evansdrumheads

Wasn’t sure I’d dig dressing up to play covers, but after a year plus with @fungimungle I can honestly say, it is some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing the drums!

Grateful to make music with so many amazingly talented people in so many styles in the month of September!

Love to answer an actual question, so much more meaningful than just making content for the sake of the algorithm. I limit my social media and YouTube posting in favor of posting directly to my website. There are several lessons that involve songs that get b!ocked for the audio… If you want to see more content like this or have your question answered, message me or comment.

One of the coolest things I’ve been blessed to do with music students, we took over the Roberto Estrada stage in downtown Las Cruces on a #farmersmarket Saturday and wowed market-goers with group and individual performances alike. So proud of the work these kids did and look forward to the next one in 2025!
