About this event

From the moment I saw “Kiss” on TV back in the '70s, I knew drumming was my calling. I was captivated by their energy and stage presence, and my first drummer hero was none other than Animal from “The Muppets”. I told my mom I wanted to play drums, but my dad had one rule: anything but the drums. Fortunately, I didn't listen! Now, generations later, my kids and grandkids are banging on drums in the house too, keeping the beat alive.

Growing up, I was heavily influenced by drummers like John Bonham of Led Zeppelin and Tommy Lee, with a strong connection to '80s hair bands. That raw, high-energy style has shaped my playing into something powerful and unapologetically live.
