Thank you for visiting my website!
I am proud and fortunate to be a part of a vibrant music scene in Canada which includes regular performances with The Western Swing Authority..a Texas swing band that is receiving national and international acclaim. I tour extensively with The Piano Men starring Jim Witter, a musical journey through the 70's featuring the music of Billy Joel and Elton John. I also currently drum for the always entertaining and incredibly talented Tim Louis and Canadian blues icon and treasure Cheryl Lescom and the Tuscon Choir Boys.
It has been a couple of exciting years for me. I entered into endorsement agreements with Sonor Drums, Zildjian Cymbals and Remo Drum heads. I hosted my first drum clinic and was nominated as Drummer of the Year by The Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA). Most notably in 2016 I was the honored recipient of the Mel Brown Award as presented by the Kitchener Blues Festival for lifetime achievement in the blues. Past recipients of this esteemed award include: Buddy Guy, Jimmy Vaughn and Bobby Blue Bland.
So please cruise my site and enjoy your time here!
Zildjian Endorsement Agreement 2020
Zildjian Endorsement Agreement Template
Zildjian cymbals carry a two year warranty, from date of purchase, against manufacturing flaws. Zildjian requires that all cymbals for warranty replacement be returned to us for review. Quality is important to us and we use these opportunities to track the manufacture of the cymbal in question to ensure quality continues to improve. I entered into endorsement agreements with Sonor Drums, Zildjian Cymbals and Remo Drum heads. I hosted my first drum clinic and was nominated as Drummer of the Year by The Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA). Endorsement agreements are almost always exclusive, and your credibility and contract could both be lost. In addition to being a business arrangement, the relationship between you and the manufacturer is also important on a personal level. I currently have endorsement agreements for sticks, heads, cymbals and snare drums/percussion instruments, plus a brand new “user” deal for the drumset of my dreams. I am not and never have been (although I still hold out foolish hope, even in middle age, that I will someday become) a famous drummer. By its basic definition, an ‘endorsement’ means an artist (i.e. Performer, educator and/or digital influencer) fully commits to and swears by a particular brand. In other words, that brand's instruments are the best and only product that the Artist wants to play or use.
