Greg has been playing drums and percussion instruments since childhood. He considers himself to be rooted most deeply in jazz music but play nearly any/all styles of music (some of those other styles being: rock n roll, blues, punk, New Music, free improvisation, various Latin music traditions, music from Brazil, etc).

In addition to drum set, he specializes in various frame drums (mostly, bodhran and a hybrid creation, the Norbert Eckermann Creature). He also plays the Wave Drum electronic percussion synthesizer.

Some musicians become truly expert at one specialization and then build on that direction for life; Greg, on the other hand, reinvents himself every 10 years of so (although you'll still find him in the clubs playing jazz etc). His most current focus is playing, programming, sound design and mixing on the incredible MASCHINE 2.0 rhythm instrument and software. In 2014, he began preparing beats and mixes for radio spots, clubs, and film/television. Please check his website's Audio page for new electronic grooves, ambient chill beats, and more. He'll be establishing himself as an electronic drummer, percussionis, and DJ for the remainder of this decade.

Greg has performed at: Montreal Jazz Festival - Lincoln Center in New York - The Blue Note (NY) - International World Music Festival of Louisiana - Haus Der Kulturen in Berlin - Ghetto Club in Istanbul, Turkey - Barbes in Park Slope, Brooklyn - and many, many other venues, festivals, cruise ships and private events, both locally in New York City and worldwide.

He also leads Taketina rhythm workshops - a joyful, potentially life-changing rhythm/music experience as reported by many participants who have participated in my workshops. Please visit his Taketina page on his site for more information, and the Events page to see where/when the next Taketina workshop led by Greg will happen.
