Been playing drums since I was in middle school. A small sample

–BA in Studio Music +Jazz (drum set) from University of Miami (FL). Extensive ear training, four years of jazz piano and four years of intense transcribing on TOP of studying/recording drums, playing forums, doing juries (it was intense).

–Recorded w/ Pro Tools HD rigs, Presonus, Apogee, studios in Florida, Chicago and Los Angeles

–Voice over artist since 2015 (here’s a book I did for an author)

–Lover of all things music and audio!

–Being a musician and into music since I was a little kid (parents had records, listened to Michael Jackson, etc) I want to bring my unique perspective and ears to this forum.

My reviews and insights will be detailed, to the point, and from a unique perspective of a drummer w/ experienced ears (and still pristine hearing–thanks Mom)!
