New Toy
My bride got me a pretty sweet gift for my 30th birthday. A pork pie drum set!
Travis Barker
There are a number of reasons as to why Travis Barker is my idol. I’d start by saying his drumming is simply fantastic. I love his style, speed and passion. To me, he seems down to earth for a celebrity. If you haven’t seen Travis Barker drum, click here. He has a marching band style …
October
Soon enough we will be purchasing a home in the area. I can’t wait to start playing drums again. Drums and apartment life don’t mix well. My family is also coming to visit Oct. 25-28. Parents, Grandma and my Aunt are all attending. So far we have plans to visit Muir Woods to go on …
July
July has been great so far! It was needed after the month of June. Granted it’s like a sauna outside with the weather but, I’ve accomplished quite a bit so far this month. Here are a few of my accomplishments…
My Week’s Summary
This last week has been a roller coster of mixed emotions. I took off Monday and Tuesday at the beginning of the week which could have been quite possibly the best two days I’ve had in a long time. Then I went back to work Wednesday and I was swamped from missing two days of …

Until Apple comes out with something that is efficient for me I’ve been using GrooveShark. I personally think is better than what Google announced for their online music streaming service.
The National
My friend Jamie Massey introduced me to The National earlier last year and this last week I haven’t been able to stop listening to their album High Violet. Check out “Terrible Love” below. Wait until about a minute into the video before the song starts.
Manchester Orchestra – Simple Math
Manchester Orchestra just put their album to stream up on Columbia Records website. I just finished listening to the album for the first time and as stated by one of my best friends, Joel Niemann – “Virgin and Simple Math maybe the single greatest song combination in the last 10 years”.
Music
I feel like I’m getting my passion for music back lately. Not that I ever lost it but… I’ve been extremely caught up with work, tech, and gadgets so much lately that music has just been put on the back burner. The last month or so I’ve been practicing drums and guitar non-stop. Writing new music …
