04 Aug 2009 - New recordings coming up!
It may be blistering hot, but this dude ain't sitting still! As we speak, I'm putting together a whole bunch of rhythms and song ideas for new CDs by SOILWORK, SCARVE and a few more as-yet-to-be-revealed projects. Time spent behind the kit is never a bad thing!
And speaking of time, my buddies David and Franck Potvin haven't been wasting theirs either... Yes yes y'all, the second album of PHAZE I is set to be recorded later this year! I'm gearing up to track my drumparts within the next couple of months, and let me tell you right now: this one's going to majestically destrrroy!! As a reminder, check out the song "Intensified Elements" from our self-titled debut on my audio page.
Among all that, I haven't forgotten about my drumming DVD... Don't even worry folks! I'm hoping to set a final shooting date very soon and will keep you posted right here as further details unravel. Now go get your tan on!

25 Jun 2009 - LIMS 2009 video now online!
Time to show you how things went down at the 2nd edition of the annual London International Music Show! Demonstrating Toontrack's The Metal Foundry software truly was a blast... And that's not in the least because I was fortunate enough to perform alongside the amazing David "Fingers" Haynes (Prince, Chaka Kahn, Mary J. Blige) for some kick-ass trade-off solos! Check out my new video to see how we blasted and grooved London to the ground!
I'd like to thank David Haynes for being such an awe-inspiring player; everyone at Toontrack, Time+Space, Tama and Pintech for being some of the most charming and professional people I've ever met; my wonderful wife Hannah for her endless support; and last but not least, all of you who came and enjoyed the demos!
More news coming soon!

01 Jun 2009 - The Metal Foundry release + live demos in London!
Yes yes y'all, here we go for some more drumming news... Last April, I was fortunate enough to pay a visit to Brooklyn, New York for a recording engineered by world-renowned drummer Nir Z (Chris Cornell, John Mayer, Genesis). And on July 1st, 2009, the result of that session will be released as a custom MIDI set for The Metal Foundry SDX, an expansion pack for Toontrack's amazing Superior Drummer 2.0 drum sampling software! Read all about the Metal Foundry in my discography section!
Furthermore, I'll be performing live at the official presentation of The Metal Foundry, which will take place at the London International Music Show from June 11th to 14th, 2009. So if you happen to be in the British capital this month, make sure to stop by for some fancy licks 'n flying sticks!
