Profile Information:

About me:: Percussionist for 40 years, now playing Gongs almost exclusively. Using Gongs for sound healing & meditation. It was the overtones of the big Gongs that attracted me to them - such a Universe of sound. Then I discovered overtone singing, which I sometimes do with the Gongs.
Instruments:: I play Paiste Symphonic, Planet, Sound Creation, & Accent Gongs. Also other Gongs from Asia, Iceland, Switzerland. I play hand drums & percussion, and of course, use my voice.
Influences:: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Ether, Andrea Centazzo, Pierre Favre, Frank Perry, Spirit Guides & Angels.
