We asked...Why Gretsch?: 

"I’ve long been a fan of Gretsch drums, and guitars for that matter. There are no “bad” Gretsch drums - there are good, better, different, more expensive Gretsch drums, but no bad ones. I respect that. I love the versatility of Gretsch. I like that the sets I have (USA Custom and Renown) can be tuned differently according to what I need for a song or a project. "

Advice to Aspiring Musicians: 

"Be honest with yourself about your talents, abilities, and priorities. Work on your weaknesses, play to your strengths. Don’t be afraid of failure, but be practical. "
