Earlier this year I became an official member of the DW family endorsing the full line of drums and hardware. My love affair with Drum Workshop gear started with the first DW Collectors Series kit I purchased in 1998, which I still have and continue to use today. Since then my collection of DW drums has grown and, over the last 5 years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working with the unbelievable staff that makes up what I believe to be one of the most well-run companies (not limited to drums) on the planet. Their passion for pushing the envelope of how drums are built, the resulting sonic options that seem to be endless, the intelligence of the hardware design, and the family atmosphere they create… I can’t imagine endorsing any other drum company. I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of the DW artist roster. Much thanks to John Good, Scott Macartney, Scott Garrison and all the folks at Drum Workshop.
