Soundcheck in a hockey rink with Lita Ford and co… from a couple weeks back. ...

5-5-22: From this morning’s run in Tuscany (the Chianti region). Enjoying a little decompression time in Italy this week. Beauty everywhere you look… plus cool peeps and plenty of incredible vegan food. Florence tomorrow,...

6-27-21: Hittin’ the weights late-night after a fun show at the IDL Ballroom in Tulsa last night with Lita Ford. Did some chest and back supersets, along with plenty of agonizing “drumbell” movements, which I explain in the...

Early morning run in Florence today. Insane beauty abounds! Wound up doing a seven-miler because I kept getting lost.. which is not unusual for me in European cities. But Florence sure is a special place!...

Sorrento, Italy… early morning run. Breathtaking views and crisp, clean ocean air.  Definitely worth getting up early to experience!...

Here’s another practice room vid that’s part of a series I recorded late one night awhile back, focusing on the “timbale side” of kit. I was attempting to work on some improvisational skills within the confines of using just...

The longest hotel hallway in America? Possibly, I say. That’s why, at the end of a late-night run in Sandusky last week, I had to do some wind-sprints up and down that b***h!...

Here’s another solo clip I just stumbled across in the archives from a Lita Ford run through Sweden and Norway a few years back. Another scaled-down kit situation, but we always try to make do. Dig… To see more of this kind...

As far as I can tell, this was the one that started it all!...

A return to Milwaukee on 6-24-22 after the Lita Ford set at Summerfest... where all I could think about was food!...

As mentioned, my 40-piece Alpha Kit is based around a Radial Bridge kit that Steven Vault built for me back in the 90s during the Peavey drum days. This vid was originally texted to him during a recent head-change......

A 60s-era Rogers from my Alpha kit gets the "treatment".......

Last week’s run in PA… or was it NY?...

Shot some footage last night while playing an impromptu triplet-based, hi-hat/double-pedal ostinato during the drum solo. Spirited crowd at J.D.Legends near Dayton!...

Just arriving in Florence…...

A longer-than-usual running vid that features several clips from the 7-mile run... with my usual Euro-run theme intact: getting lost!...

I don't recall the venue here, but it"s always an interesting effect when the audience can see two distinct vantage points of a solo happening, simultaneously....

Nothing really spectacular here… but yet another behind-the-scenes glimpse of a Lita Ford soundcheck, playing “Close My Eyes Forever”… and digging in! (Digging in so hard, in fact, that my tech Jesse's iPhone was distorting...
