Hire a Session Drummer for Live Shows, Touring, and Recording

I am a professional NYC-based session drummer available for live performances, touring, rehearsals, recording sessions, and sub work. I work with artists, bands, producers, and music directors across a wide range of genres, bringing strong groove, musical awareness, and a fully professional approach to every situation.

Live Performance & Touring

Available for one-off gigs, sub dates, artist showcases, and full touring commitments. From intimate songwriter performances to full-scale productions, I show up prepared, adaptable, and focused on delivering a great performance.

Rehearsals & Creative Development

Available for rehearsals, writing sessions, and pre-production. I help artists and bands develop arrangements, refine parts, and prepare for recording or live performance.
