“He puts so much personality into what he does,” Bearden said. “It’s super cool to see. He was very creative with a lot of ways he did things. There was a very large variety and options and textures he used. He was very creative and energetic; it was almost humorous.” – Audrey Bergey

“He has the stuff of a great drummer — the feel and knack for rhythm — and appears to have a bright future as a composer ahead of him, too.” – Tom Henry
