Congratulations on another year around the sun (flying neither too close nor too far from itâŠ) to this goofy, jiu-jitsu fighting, drummer extraordinaire.
Bartok Reborn REBORN! We had such a blast bringing back our Bartok program for @concertnova in Cincinnati a few weeks back. While in town, we also got to teach some wonderful CCM percussion students AND perform on the radio! All in all, a fantastic time. Many many thanks to give to @ccmpercussion , @concertnova for presenting us; we canât wait to come back (and next time, we gotta try the chili)!
