Ben was kicked out of preschool for aggressive and disruptive behavior (i.e. he drummed on everything). Fortunately, a doctor’s assessment cleared his name of this very rock ‘n roll accusation and set him on the path of music—his all-encompassing life obsession.

Ben has over two-decades experience writing, performing, and recording progressive metal, post rock, funk, math rock, progressive rock, and jazz fusion drumming at a very high level and has studied for decades with numerous instructors across the musical spectrum, honing his own inimitable style of technically proficient, melodic, and creatively explosive drum orchestration.
