About
I am a drummer focused on creating powerful, immersive, and emotionally charged rhythmic atmospheres. My playing combines precision, intensity, and dynamic control, influenced by gothic metal, industrial, doom, alternative rock, and atmospheric music.
I don’t just play drums to keep time — I play to serve the music, to build tension, depth, and identity within each song.
I have experience creating original rhythmic concepts, recording drum covers, and developing dark, cinematic rhythmic textures. I am especially interested in projects with strong artistic vision, emotional depth, and authentic sound.
I am open to:
• Joining an existing band
• Forming a new band
• Remote collaborations
• Studio recordings
• Live performances
Based in Illinois, USA. Available for local and international projects.
Serious, committed, and artistically driven.

My influences
My influences come from gothic metal, industrial, and alternative music—where atmosphere is just as important as technique. I’m inspired by bands that build dark, emotional soundscapes, where drums don’t just keep time but create tension, depth, and identity. I draw inspiration from tribal rhythms, heavy textures, and immersive sonic environments. I’m driven by the idea of transforming intense emotions—pain, desire, catharsis—into something rhythmically hypnotic and powerful. For me, drumming is both invocation and structure. It supports, it strikes, and it tells a story.
My equipment
I play a full acoustic drum kit configured for power and atmospheric depth. My setup is designed to deliver punchy low-end, sharp attack, and dynamic contrast—ideal for gothic, industrial, alternative, and heavy projects. • 5-piece configuration (kick, snare, 2 rack toms, floor tom) • Double bass pedal for fast and aggressive patterns • Dark, cutting cymbals suited for heavy and atmospheric music • Focus on tight tuning for clarity and impact My sound is balanced between aggression and depth—built for both live performance and recording environments.

Listen to audition reels
Before starting to collaborate with a musician, it's important to listen carefully to their audition reels. This type of recording can give you an insight into the level of professionalism and talent they bring to the stage. Ask the musician to provide you with samples of their musical repertoire, so that you can make sure it fits with your event's style and theme. Listening to these recordings will also help you determine whether or not the musician has proper technique for your performance needs.
