16/01/2020

Such an honor!! I had a blast last night at the event with my Family and got to see some old friends!!
I had a great conversation with Singer !! Was definitely a big highlight of my night!
Funniest moment was when Jason Bittner approached me and said "Hey, you're playing my kit tonight so don't f**k it up!" So I beat the s**t out of his kit! "I'm gonna put my balls on your drumset!" 🤘🤣🤘
Gonna be rocking the Dimebash tonight!!

15/01/2020

Amazing gift from my longtime friend !! I love you and Mom and Dad! This made my day! I'm so proud of you Gonzo, keep kicking ass on those drums and everything else you do!

15/01/2020

We had a great tour rehearsal yesterday with !! "End Of Sanity" sounds so killer!! Stoked to see my homie Preston stopped by!!

10/01/2020

I love you man!! The greatest drummer of all time is gone. You once said you had to "come to terms with Buddy Rich being the greatest Drummer of all time", but it was you man. Thank you for teaching me everything I know about drums and sending me down this whirlwind music life. I owe it to you and thank you for it. I haven't cried like this since Dime, Vinnie, and Scaccia died 😭😢 My condolences to the Peart Family, DW, Remo, and Promark Familes. My heart is with you Christian and the Family. ❤

09/01/2020

To me, this what it's all about. Be creative. Be yourself. You don't need a guitarist. You don't need a band! If I was on a long flight this is what I'd love to listen to, just knowing that this beautiful music was created by percussion and body movement. Much love to and your awesome rocking Family!

Super excited to see my Family and Friends!! Turns out we're jamming a couple tunes!

Another reason why I love , besides making the best products in the World! I don't know how they do it, my cymbals weigh so much but carrying them is effortless with this case. It has heavy duty straps as an option to wear it like a backpack. When I'm done, their cymbal case fits perfectly in my dead bass drum case. Such a nerd I know, but these are the details I appreciate and help me on my journey.
Shout out to Michelle Debus and the Reunion Blues Family!!
