Biography

Hi! My name is Andrew and I'm a drummer/percussionist in central Virginia. I have an undergraduate degree in jazz performance, am midway through completing my master's, and I perform regularly in the region with groups like the Seven Hills Quartet, the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra, the Alluvion Stage Company, and more. I love jazz (especially bebop and contemporary styles!), but also enjoy playing Broadway, gospel and CCM, pop, and rock. I play drum set, mallets, concert percussion, and world percussion.
