As a recording artist it is my intention to provide creativity and humanity to the artists who bring me on to their projects.
I have had the good fortune to work with a massive variety of artists in my life
The following are a couple recent notable ones (more examples available on request):
Cody Matthew Johnson:
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.
My Gear
Here’s a list of what I have and can record:
Oriollo Manganese Drum Set with a variety of different cymbals and snare drums to fit any style
Custom Whitney Drum Set
Custom Bop Jazz drum set
4-Octave 1960’s Ludwig Leedy Rosewood Marimba
Jenco Vibraphone

Hand drums:
Congas, Bongos, Doumbek (clay and aluminum), Daf, Udu drum, Klong Yaw, Rumwong, Cajon, Remo Kids Floor Drums, Talking drum, multiple frame drums, Native American drum
Bass drum I cut in half on a table saw to turn into a sort of war drum duo.
Multiple tambourines, including classical and Egyptian Riq
A wide variety of shakers, cowbells and other metal percussion, including some “trashy percussion.”
Homemade log drums
And possibly more, depending on the last time I updated this list, so feel free to ask!
