"I'm using a Tama Starclassic B/B Kit (Birch/Bubinga Hybrid Shell) with Remo Ambassador heads. I'm using a Roland Octapad SPD-30 for the timbales, sandpaper blocks, and the one concert bass drum hit.

I have a couple of instruments that are from smaller businesses that are putting out incredible products: JCR Percussion's timbale cowbell, and a 20" Matt Bettis Ride.

The Miller Machine got a lot of attention in rehearsals. It is so helpful during some of the faster accessory sections."

"Conducting a National Tour is incredibly challenging, but so rewarding. Stepping on to the podium with a new orchestra every few weeks really keeps you on your toes. Every player responds differently so you are constantly adjusting to get the desired result. I would compare it to playing a multi-percussion piece where the instruments are constantly moving."
"After a grueling four years at SUNY I still had one theory class left to finish. I was really depressed. A classmate of mine recommended me for a tour of a Broadway show. This completely changed the course of my life."
"When I first got the call to start working on Ain’t Too Proud - The Life And Times Of The Temptations, I was curious about which era the show was going to focus on. Their career began in the early 1960’s and they’re still releasing albums today."
"The timpani tunings are the real challenge of The Little Mermaid. Changing pitches must be done by feel, that was my biggest challenge. Memorizing the mallet parts was also very necessary."
"As you can see in the pictures, I prefer to have as much 'stuff' right in front of me, as close as possible. Because there are so many instruments close in, I have mounted a music stand off of the tom mount.
"Different from the tour, the original Broadway production had acoustic drums, an acoustic set of timbales, and an acoustic tambourine - the tambourine is now programmed in the SPD-SX."
