Thanks Jacob Burnett from The Vineyard Podcast for having me on. A lot of drum nerdery, musical journey-ism and tips to stay inspired-ness. Enjoy.

This was pretty cool! Happy to see those break records got around. More custom and session druming as of recent that I’ll share when those releases are ready.

The Du-Rites are now kicking off the campaign for the fall release of our seventh album, Plug It In. The first single, “Bay B. MoMa” – a sort of double entendre about art museums with lyrics that make no sense – dropped today on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms. Our spiritual advisor, Broughamin’ Fred, on lead vocals. It’s all about the groove with us anyway. Slow, psychedelic, sleazy, greezy, nasty funk for your summer!

Last week I had the honor of traveling to Austin, TX for a live taping at KUTX radio station (NPR), playing drums in Adrian Quesada’s backing band. We performed cuts from his new album, Boleros Psicodelicos. The album is killer – I’m very happy to have played on four of the tracks, as well as being part of this great group of musicians and singers for the live taping. Watch full performance below.

I’m honored to be a session musician on the new Adrian Quesada (The Black Pumas) album that dropped today. I played drums on four tracks: “Mentiras Con Cari“ño,” “Idolo,” Esclavo Y Amo” and “Eso No Lo He Dacha Yo.” Surrounded by some great musicians as well. Stream it on Spotify.

The Du-Rites from our Brooklyn Conservatory of Music “Open Stages” Festival performance last weekend: We play “Neckbones” live in a 100 degree furnace! Enjoy on YouTube and subscribe to our channel if you dig.

Pretty much all the HQ isolated drums from any video I’ve posted from the last year (besides some of the covers) are on it. A preview of the whole thing is in the YouTube clip in the link. The video below is on there by popular demand, haha. Have fun!

We’re back in rehearsal for some April, May and June 2022 gigs! Hit the Live Gigs! page if you’re in NYC to check us out! We’re also playing a few as Lulu Lewis (same personnel, different genre), so drop in.

One time for my greatest influence as a drummer, Mr. “Funky” George Brown.

I played drums on this new Soul Supreme cover of “We Gettin Down”/”Award Tour”. It’s streaming everywhere today, like Bandcamp and Spotify. He even gave me a solo! Weldon Irvine/ATCQ fans, enjoy. Here’s a promo vid:
