Need live drums or percussion on your track? I’m a seasoned session drummer with over 30 years of experience, specializing in authentic Jamaican styles and jazz, with solid time, great creativity, and versatile chops to match just about any genre.
From hard-hitting rock and punk to laid-back reggae and groove-heavy funk, I’ve recorded and performed across a wide range of styles: Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Samba, Calypso, Soca, Hip-Hop, Progressive Rock, Funk, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and more. If your music needs the real feel of live drums or world percussion, I’ve got you covered.
