Free-Videos — Inspired Drumming

In this video, I explain the Afro Cuban Claves!

I wrote this duet for my professor Danny Gottlieb! I was so excited while writing it, and I am still so thankful that Danny was willing to play the piece!

Check out this great contrafact by Marissa Alvarez! I used a Bembe inspired groove, and I was able to expand the Bembe groove by having the other musicians in the band play accompanying instruments!

Here is an arrangement of Fiddler on the Roof from Cannonball Adderley's album, Fiddler on the Roof, which was his take on some of the songs from the musical with the same title.

Here is an arrangement of the Latin Jazz classic "A Night In Tunisia" written by Dizzy Gillespie. I am very happy with how this arrangement turned out for my senior recital at the University of North Florida! Most of my inspiration for this arrangement comes from the way in which the Caribbean Jazz Project plays this song.

Here is an original by my band Tasty Tuesday entitled, Blucose. This is another tune that was on the set list for my senior recital, and I am very happy to present it here!

What else can I call this? I had a blast recording this afro cuban groove that I wanted to jam to. I might make some more in the future, because I really like how this came out!

Here's some footage of me playing "In The Heights" for a local community theater! This was a daunting task at first. I was told I would need to play the drum set book as well as the percussion book for this awesome show.
