Soundchecking at @statehousenhv for this crazy night of music! I'll be playing with @stephenprodgers for his album release for Count It All Joy, our Mighty Purple reunion, and a set with @sethadammusic and more, including a set by @thejonnyrodgers - and its SOLD OUT! Brand new set of @aquariandrumheads, and my first gig with these absolutely incredible @lotusbyadoro pedals! #stoked ________________________________ #drummer #saturdaynight #nh #friends #90s #reunion #recordrelease #soldout #fibes #clear #drums #goodtimes #grateful
Last night was truly fantastic! I had the honor to play the Ultimate Jam Night NYC, and DAMN were there some seriously talented mofos there.

So it's been music madness over here the past couple of weeks! Saturday night I had the honor and pleasure of playing with @sethadammusic at @cafenine celebrating the release of his re-mastered East Rock record. All kinds of fun playing with him, @jeffburnhammusic, and Jerry Giaimo! #livemusic _______________________________ #drummer #saturdaynight #work #latergram #singersongwriter #local #music #friends #goodtimes #nh #drums

Amazing time last night with @americanwhimsy (Steve Rodgers) and Adrian Van de Graaff- 3/4 of the 96-99 Mighty Purple line-up! @thejonnyrodgers (Jonny Rodgers) will join us next week (Fri. April 19). This will be the first time in nearly 20 years that we have all played together! We'll be the closing set at Steve's album release show at the @statehousenhv in New Haven. Can't wait!! Also, check out (some of) Steve's incredible handiwork- he built alllllll that... #goodtimes _______________________________ #mightypurple #reunion #band #90s #alternative #rock #mp #bandmates #brothers #friends #friendship #20years #cantwait #greatnight #grateful

I'm pleased to announce I'm part of the Lotus drum pedal family! These new pedals have a feature that is perfect for my life- easy conversion from single to double pedal! Check these things out- they're brand new to the world, play and look great! @lotusbyadoro
Today has been quite a day so far! I had a lunch date with @robin_k_kat- the place was closed, so we had to go somewhere else... how many great adventures start with plans gone awry? Anyway the place we went was right by Don's Speed Shop, and this red ERA Cobra was out front, as was a Willys gasser! The owner of the Cobra offered to let me sit in it for the pic- yes please! I've loved Cobras since my uncle gave me a ride in his when I was 8... I rented the blue one in Las Vegas in 2004, and had 24 hrs of blissful V8 mayhem! #somedaysarebetterthanothers
