I've been working with a really interesting new Ska/Punk band for the last year or so called Mad Madame Mim. We infuse quite a wide array of musical styles within the umbrella of Ska. We have been busy recording a new album and releasing a few new music videos including a live off the floor video of our original song called "Revenge" and a fully animated video of our original "Devils Dance" which you can check out below. If you like what you see/hear feel free to give us a fo

I had a great time in the studio today recording some drums for one of Shara Gibson's new singles with her producer Gerrard Suyao. Below are some pics Gerrard was kind enough to snap during the session. The Kauri's sounded beautiful on tape as per usual, these drums never dissapoint! Looking forward to hearing how this one turns out. #Drumming #Recording #Album

Hey all, I’m back in Toronto now after a much needed Christmas break. It was great to see old friends and family again. It also gave me some time to finish mixing a few new tracks from several sessions I took part in with my buddies Grant King and Chris Davis over the summer. We got together with the intent of having a pretty casual session; basically just freely improvising over a few ideas Grant had brought to the table. You can check out one of the tracks below. These w

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve had the absolute pleasure to be playing music with a fine piano trio this year comprised of Dave Bridger on Upright Bass and Grant King on Piano. This trio (otherwise known as Triad Triage) has been a musical highlight for me since we began playing this year. We mainly perform improvised music but also cover some dandy standards as well! Over the month of February we were busy recording our first album for RPM! I’m pleased to say tha
