I had the honor and pleasure of being on the other side of the camera recently, as a guest on "Drummers Eating Pizza" Podcast. DEP Host Jon Adams and his son Liam came to my Drum Room and we had a fun chat about drums, drummers and my life in the Drum Industry, followed by some delicious pizza! So come along for the ride and be sure to check out other episodes of Drummers Eating Pizza and subscribe to his channel!  @DrummersEatingPizza413  

*This show was recorded on February 21, 2025. A few days later, I learned my friend and mentor Glyn Thomas, had passed away. Glyn hired me at Simmons Drums in 1985, and was largely responsible for my career in the Music Industry, as referenced in this and other interviews. This show is dedicated to Glyn Thomas. Rest in Peace, Glyn.
