February Update!

February finds me even busier than I thought I would be! The renovations on the new house have taken quite a bit longer than originally expected. We are hoping to be in by the end of February or early March. We are most definitely chomping at the bit to get in and enjoy our new place!

My teaching schedule is nice and full and I'm so appreciative to all my students and their families for their continued support. I have a waiting list now for certain days/time slots and I'm so grateful to be busy!

NAMM was a blast and it was great seeing all my company contacts and meeting new ones. It was also nice reconnecting with some old friends. It makes for a tiring day but well worth it!

Party Jones has been playing regularly as usual. The current lineup is slamming and I'm having a blast playing with these guys! The website has been updated so be sure to check it out here:


The newest club we're playing is a bit of a haul from South Orange County but it is beautiful. It's La Palapa in Long Beach! Right on the water with excellent food and ambience. A great place to have some dinner and drinks and listen to Party Jones!

My latest drum transcription is "Fear Of A Blank Planet" from Porcupine Tree. A little over seven minutes of 6/4, 4/4/ and 5/4 with some CRAZY Gavin Harrison fills thrown in for good measure! You can download it and challenge yourself here:


Hope everyone's 2011 is progressing nicely!
