MUSICAL INFLUENCES
My musical influences probably started with my Grandfather Wilhoit. He would always play the piano for me and encouraged me to express my percussive talents by beating on the dinner table. The Beatles were a huge influence on Bill and I. They helped fuel our first musical endeavor, The Explosives. Movies & movie soundtracks had a profound effect on me. John Williams is one of the greatest composers to ever live. Early drum teachers, such as Shawn Pelton (Saturday Night Live Band) and Louis D' Agistino helped mold my musical commitment and discipline. Among many other things, my parents have been the real driving/supportive force in my musical career.

PLAYING LIVE
Playing live really brings out the essence of music. The feel of the crowd watching and listening. The adrenaline rush of the first note. The feeling of totally immersing yourself into the music and the moment. The interaction of the band. The unpredictability of the moment. The feeling of satisfaction from a supportive music lover.
