What Inspires Me
Recording art is fun, and a major passion of mine in this life...but performing live in front of a responsive and enthusiastic audience is " why I'm still in the business of live music " and It keeps me coming back to the stage.

Musical Influences & the early years
Drumming has been one of the single biggest passions in Chris' life. Great teachers and influences by players like Terry Bozzio and Bill Bruford is part of why Chris has remained a pro or semi-pro musician and live entertainer since the late 1970's. There's no stopping now.
Since I was around 10 years old...I've been playing music. I got my first drumset at age 11... as a gift from dad.
I got my first pro gig at age 17, and have been playing semi-pro and professionally since that time. My drum teacher Al Garabaldi was a Jazz/Session cat from LA. I studied with Al for almost 4 years when I was in H.S. and for about a year after I graduated.
