clients & projects:

    The Philadelphia German Brass Band has been recording tracks for their upcoming full length CD. Capturing a full 16 piece horn band totally live with drums is challenging, but enjoyable. I will have some video coming of the sessions.

    Teenage rockers Final Warning recently completed their debut 13 song album.

    Recording drums for my first instrumental solo album with first call drummers; Jason Gianni, Dennis Leeflang, and of course Rich Berends. Nearing completion, more news on that soon.
