There are many crucial elements in the developing of your sound and style. One of the main elements is choosing the right stick that not only feels good to the hand, but also can be used for most of your playing situations. Once this is done you will grow with your stick selection which will become an extension of your arm. It takes time to find the right stick because there are many choices of sticks and companies. After many years of searching, I have found the company for my sticks, brushes, and accessary needs. Pro-Mark is that company. No matter where I travel to perform or teach a master class, Pro-Mark is there with 100% support.

Cymbal selection is another crucial element which also takes time to find the right set for most playing situations. Because I am placed in many different situations, I had to find several sets to suit my needs. Zildjian is that company for me. Just as Pro-Mark, Zildjian also supports me 100% as I travel to perform and teach master classes.
