Always important to remember.

Always good to see this old friend. And now with the new orchestral series @malletechofficial

And just like that The Repertoire is in the can. 84 of the most common percussion excerpts. Really proud of this team for the support. It may take me a little while but there is a ton of unbelievable #content coming to the percussion community. Can’t wait to share it! . . . #orchestralpercussion #percussion #orchestra #malletech #zildjian #evans #groverpropercussion #auditions #orchestraauditions #percussionauditions #percusion #percussionista #percussionlife #drums #drummer #musician #orchestralmusician #percussioncommunity #drumsticks @malletechofficial @groverpro @evansdrumheads @zildjiancompany

Fell in love with work in college. Always fun to revisit. Totally underrated. #Mahler @stlsymphony

Mallet testing for the next recording session of #TheRepertoire Turns out it’s hard to see with no stage lights! However @malletechofficial mallets still sound great!

Facebook algorithm you just get me.

Happy 5 years baby. @stephjones11
