“It’s a celebration of drums, drumming, the drummer and the eras that these kits were a significant part of.”

I’ve been a fan of Pure Grain Audio for a while now, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to find out that writer Darren Paltrowitz reviewed my book Crash. For those of you who haven’t gotten a chance to check out his review, I wanted to take a few minutes to summarize it here.

Back in 2014, I was interviewed by South Florida Luxury Guide, an online digital magazine for luxury cars, jewelry stores, homes, hotels, and other luxury products, about how I got my start in the music business and began building home studios and theaters for celebrity clients such as Bryan Adams, The Stones, and Rascal Flatts.

Earlier this year, I joined Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell at Pwop Studios on the .Net Rocks! podcast to talk about music technology and exchange stories about our work in the industry. The interview began talking about my childhood—when I lost my eye to a rare form of cancer at the age of two and how that experience influenced me to start playing the drums.
