Thankful to my colleagues in the Percussive Arts Society for their support in being voted in as a member of the Board of Advisors.

I am more than excited to be return to Drum Corps International for the 2026 season as a Percussion Consultant for the Carolina Crown Drum & Bugle Corps! Check out the incredible Crown Percussion staff here!

Going to The Midwest Clinic this year? Come check out the Elkins High School Percussion Ensemble, where I will be premiering Austin Keck’s Hollow Horizon!

Thank you to TAMA for letting me share information about snare and tom tuning. These three videos can be found on the TAMA Drums YouTube Channel here.

I was fortunate to co-author the best-selling book from Meredith Music/GIA called “Rehearsing the Concert and Marching Percussion Ensemble.” I contributed a chapter about rehearsing the concert percussion ensemble along with such greats as James Campbell (editor and compiler), Michael Burritt, Julie Davila, Thom Hannum, Colin McNutt, Doug Perkins, David Skidmore, Brian West, and She-e Wu.
