Music

I'm a classically-trained percussionist and pianist.

This is a random collection of various musical performances that I’ve been in over the years. I have been playing the piano since I was about 8 years old, and majored in music (percussion) at Louisiana State University.

Drumset

Fight For Your Right, Beastie Boys

Whip It, Devo

Tusk, Fleetwood Mac

Ants Marching Drum Cover, Dave Matthews Band

Satellite Drum Cover, Dave Matthews Band

  • Watch it on YouTube
  • Performed Feburary 2023 at home
  • This is my attempt to cover the drum part for "Satellite" by Dave Matthews Band. I love this song and wanted to learn it. Obviously it's nowhere near the level of musicianship that Carter possesses, but it was a ton of fun to learn and play.

Tom Sawyer Drum Cover, Rush

Marimba

Marimba Recital, April 9, 2002

Two Preludes, J.S. Bach

Variations on Lost Love, David Maslanka

  • Listen to MP3: Part I, Part II, Part III
  • performed April 19, 2001, LSU Recital Hour
  • “A beautiful to berserk theme and variations, Variations is a large scale work in four sections that has advanced technical challenges, but is within the reach of a good four mallet player. Lyrical use of the one-handed roll in octaves for a principal melody.”

October Night, II. Allegro, Michael Burritt

Claire de Lune, Claude Debussy (arr. Steven Musumeche) [vibraphone]

Piano

Christmas Recital, Music Academy of Acadiana
