Star Wars Outlaws

I recorded a ton of live percussion for this insanely cool and ambitious project. I lost count after instrument number 20… I got to record most of the instruments in my studio for this one, this project was very creatively satisfying. Whether it’s world percussion, random metal percussion or trash kit, throughout the album “Songs from the Underworld” you can hear my percussion recordings helping to bring the cantinas of the Star Wars universe to life!

Animal Farm

From 2013-2019 I performed and recorded with the children’s entertainment band “Animal Farm.” The music was always fulfilling and entertaining kids is a blast. They really are some of the most insane audiences you can play for.
