We asked...Why Gretsch?:

"Surely the real question is: why would you NOT choose Gretsch?!! They are the only real choice a drummer can make for superior sound, craftsmanship, beauty and heritage."

Advice to Aspiring Musicians:

"Your musicality is everything. Try to play your instrument as selflessly as possible, and play purely to serve the song. Always be humble and remember every show or session is equally important, no matter where/what it is. A musician has never, ever finished learning their craft."
