Hi, my name is Carl and I am a studio drummer and private drum instructor based out of Lancaster Pennsylvania. First off, thanks for checking me out!
Stylistically, I lean more towards classic hard rock, punk, and heavy metal, think Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and The Ramones. But I truly do love to play all different genres and styles; jazz fusion, funk, R & B, progressive rock, etc. ...

Hi, my name is Carl and I am a studio drummer and private drum instructor based out of Lancaster Pennsylvania. First off, thanks for checking me out!
Stylistically, I lean more towards classic hard rock, punk, and heavy metal, think Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and The Ramones. But I truly do love to play all different genres and styles; jazz fusion, funk, R & B, progressive rock, etc. It’s the best part about being a session drummer. I love helping someone make their vision come to life no matter what type of music.
I’ve been playing drums for over 34 years, and I still obsess over learning and being a better musician. I’ve toured professionally for several years, most notably while playing in a band called Huntress. We were on the road and in the studio for about 3 years straight. While in this band, I really honed in playing professionally in front of great crowds night after night and learned the ins and outs of the professional music industry. I recorded 2 albums with this band. SiriusXM and other online platforms still play our songs today. Please check it out and give a listen when you have time.
I’ve spent the last several years diving into my personal studio set up, teaching private lessons, and making drum cover videos of my favorite songs for my YouTube channel.
I aim to deliver professional quality drum tracks for all my clients. I strive on personal relationships. This is supposed to fun! Although I take the performance aspect very seriously, I want my clients to be excited, stress free, and like I am a true friend performing on, and respecting their songs. Let’s start recording and making music together!
