Music and Percussion

I've been playing percussion for years. I started out in middle school mostly playing drums and then switched to mallet percussion. As a young adult, I played in the Pensacola Civic Band, learned marimba solos, and infrequently played in church. I am mostly self taught, learning from The Goldenberg Books and Stevens "Method of Movement". I mostly use Stevens grip for four-mallet but also can use Burton grip. I also experiment with six-mallet independence.

I am a concert percussionist primarily interested in mallet percussion and hand drumming, but I also play drum kit and timpani in concert band and musical theatre.

I regularly perform with the Pensacola Civic Band and local Musical Theatre. I am currently a part-time student at Berklee Online. You can see my Schedule and Resume to learn more about my activities. I may be available for other music opportunities in the Northwest Florida area.
