We asked...Why Gretsch?:
"A few years ago I wanted to get my first pro kit and a lot of my favorite drummers play on Gretsch. For my 18th birthday, my parents bought my 1st Gretsch kit, a Gretsch Renown and these drums still mean so much to me. I’m really impressed by the long history of Gretsch and the amazing sound of all the drums."

Advice to aspiring musicians?:
"Listen to a lot of records, try to find new sounds, be versatile, creative, and don’t forget about emotions."
