I’m not a drummer. I’m a guitarist by day. However, over the years I’ve dabbled. Growing up, I wanted to be a Drummer. I wanted to be Micky Dolenz of the Monkees or Bingo from the Banana Splits. Then I found guitar. I got my first guitar, an acoustic with nylon strings, and took lessons during summer school and my focus changed.

Over the years, I have found that I can keep a beat on the drums and would get on friends’ drum sets whenever I could. Fast forward to adulthood and I can afford my own set of drums. I have an acoustic set that takes up too much room so it sits in a closet. I have an Alesis DM10 MK II Studio Drum Kit with DW7000 drum pedals that I play around with whenever I get the urge. It’s set up in my recording studio. This year, 2025, I plan to use it to record drums on my songs instead of drum loops.

Meanwhile, here is a YouTube video of me monkeying around on a Saturday afternoon.
