Sonor Heart

Keeping up with the rhythm

Blood makes related, rhythm makes family! Passion is a strong bond that unites even the most diverse people into one big, strong family. We are extremely proud of this because we love to share our passion for drums with them and strongly support this diversity in our family. So, welcome to our SONOR Family: These artists are the heart of SONOR and keep the beat of life alive.

"Sonor drums are made with an uncompromising commitment to quality craftsmanship and detail. The rich history of the brand is unmatched in the drum industry. There is an undeniable difference in the sound and feel of a Sonor drum and they just never ever disappoint.
Others make drums that make sound, but Sonor drums make music."

I consider myself to be fortunate to have grown up in the rich musical heritage of Southern Louisiana. I realized a love for music at an early age. My father was a musician and in one way or another music and musicians surrounded me throughout my upbringing. I was immersed in jazz likely because of the home I was raised in, but I would not say I'm a jazz musician. Truthfully most of it was over my head and being a product of the 80's and 90's very much influenced the musician I became. I love the song. I'm drawn to the emotion of whatever I'm involved in and for better or worse I love playing the drums. Much like a good gumbo is a mix of ingredients that work well together my style is a mixture of all of the musical experiences I have been a part of over the years. I've spent time studying under New Orleans legend Johnny Vidacovich, Southern University's Herman Jackson, Todd Sucherman, Dave Elitch, and Daniel Glass. Over the past 25 years of my professional career, I've shared the stage with some big-name artist and toured extensively across Texas and as far as Los Angelos. I've played to 150,000 people and to empty clubs with the same level of enthusiasm. My love for the song has carried my drumming into the studio and I've played on dozens of records with some producers considering me their first call. I have enjoyed a teaching career and been fortunate enough to begin endorsement relationships with Sabian cymbals, Innovative Percussion drumsticks, Aquarian drumheads, and Sonor drums. These relationships have afforded me the opportunity to conduct drum clinics. My heart for people and love for drumming came together in perfect ratio when working at large congregation churches throughout central Texas. Playing drums has been my passion my entire life and I've been fortunate to use my gifts to bring joy to and inspire others and most importantly bring glory to my savior Jesus Christ who without nothing would be possible.

Artists endorsement application

Apply for the SONOR Artist Family

Are you a passionate SONOR drummer, an exceptional and successful professional, educator or influencer? Do you want to be part of the official SONOR Artist Family?

 

General information about the application

We believe in transparency and honesty from the start. As we work closely with our official SONOR artists and provide them with professional support, our capacity to accept new artists is limited and our standards are high. Nevertheless, we carefully review each application and aim to give you honest feedback as quickly as possible. Due to the high volume of applications, this process can sometimes take a while, so we appreciate your patience.

In some cases, we involve our SONOR distributors in different countries, depending on where you primarily perform as a drummer. Therefore, you may receive final feedback from one of our partners. If you have already applied to your national SONOR distributor and received a rejection, please inform us beforehand or refrain from applying again.

To facilitate our review process, please make your application informative, well-structured and concise. In addition, please take a look at the profiles of our current SONOR Artists and critically assess whether you see yourself at that level before submitting your application.

  • Who are you? Please introduce yourself briefly.
  • When and why did you choose to play SONOR?
  • What qualifies you to become part of the official SONOR Artist Family?
