“Gotta Let Go,” our show-opener the other night at the Iron Trail Motors Event Center with Lita Ford. Right-hand lead? Left-hand lead? I actually switch between the two throughout the set, without even really thinking about...

Here’s a Part Three excerpt from a show in Zhengzhou during my 2019 Solo Drumming Tour of China. This one was in a smaller hall than normal, but the place was packed out… and the show turned out to be a sentimental favorite...

Trying to throw it down a little during a solo spot in Sydney, on a scaled-down kit! This is from an Australia run with Lita Ford a few years back. Hope to return there soon…...

Yet another old practice room vid, never meant for public consumption. Watch till the end for the self-loathing. Sometimes we are our own worst critic! To see lots more of this kind of thing, scope out the Vault:...

Flashing back to 2016 with Lita Ford and Lzzy Hale, throwing that s**t down on “Close My Eyes Forever.” This was our last show on the Halestorm - Lita Ford - Dorothy tour. Lzzy would sometimes come out and join us on this...

Here's a quick tour of my custom DW kit I use on the Lita Ford gig (when logistics allow!). Drums were temporarily set up in the hallway of the rehearsal hall, it appears......

Here’s a drum solo excerpt from a Lita Ford show with my own custom DW kit…. featuring a multi-voice, double-bass/double hi-hat pattern along with “the incredible tilting chain rack.” (Hat on the far right operated by my...

Here's a typical practice vid from the archives, rim clicks and all. These vids were obviously recorded for my own reference (so I could remember them later), but I've decided to share some of these here in the Vault, just to...

2-26-22: Enjoying the “beautiful nothingness” on my run this afternoon in Santa Fe. Knocked out a six-miler.  Hittin’ with Lita Ford at the Buffalo Thunder Casino (+ Great White). Let’s rock it!...

From a solo drumming tour of China in 2019, at a smaller master class: Here’s a multi-foot pedal demonstration I did, where my feet are playing four different rhythms—on four different sound sources simultaneously—while my...
