About:

Originally from Rome, NY, I now live in Westchester County, just north of NYC, where I play and record with many regional, national, and international artists and productions. I studied jazz at the Hoff-Barthelson music school, and have also studied privately with jazz masters Joe Morello, John Riley, Joe Cusatis, Peter Erskine, and Adam Nussbaum. I have performed on Broadway and toured extensively throughout the US, Canada and UK. 

Equipment: 

Drummer's World Custom Maple Nesting Kit (can be checked as 2 bags on an airplane) 
Slingerland early 70's Maple Drum Kit 
Gretch Broadcaster Drum Kit, Canopus RFM 
Ludwig Fab Classic Maple Drum Kit 
Avedis Zildjian, Istanbul Mehmet, Matt Bettis, Justin Ottaviano, Jesse Simpson Cymbals 
Vic Firth Sticks, Mallets, Brushes 
Latin Percussion and other various percussion instruments and toys
ProTools  DAW full studio tracks and recording

What I am looking for: I am available to work with a band, musician, and/or producer on recordings, showcases, tours, and other live performances. Also available for fill-in work on sessions and gigs. 

What you get: I am very aware of the value of time (studio, rehearsals, gigs/touring), and pride myself on being always on time, being prepared ahead of time, having music charts prepared, listening, and being committed to getting it right. What you don't get with me is drama, practicing fills while you tune your instruments, or lack of passion or creativity.
