We asked...Why Gretsch?: 

One of the first kits I fell in love with as a kid was a Gretsch. I play a ton of flight gigs and have to use backline alot. For one year I didn’t choose what brand I played and the Gretsch drums from the Renown, the New Classic, to the USA Custom smoked every single brand of drums in the world.

Advice to Aspiring Musicians: 

Play everyday. Love it. Live it. Play with as many people as you can. Be a good human.
