Live Performance - Studio - Private Instruction

Growing up in Louisiana I was heavily influenced by the rich musical culture. I realized a love for music at a very early age. Over the past twenty years of my professional career I have been fortunate to perform and record many styles of music in various settings. I currently perform over 170 dates annually in venues across the United States. My aim is to always serve the song first. My hope is to use my passion for drumming to inspire listeners and students alike.

" I worked with Kevin on a project with Ruben V and was very impressed with his playing. He is a great musician and I enjoyed having him playing for me"


Jim Gaines (producer for Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Journey, Blues Traveler, Huey Lewis ).


"To try and tell you what I think of his playing would be more of a novel rather than a paragraph. The phrase "in the pocket" is used to describe somone playing in such a way that the groove is solid and with great feel and never wavering. Kevin is a pair of carpenter pants with pockets to spare! I have had the pleasure of working with him over the last 13 years. After thousands of shows he just keeps getting better. Great groove, deep pocket, incredible father, friend and man"


Ruben V



"Kevin is an amazing drummer. Ive seen him play in several different types of bands and he excels at each style. Kevin's drumming turns a straightforward blues-rock into a New Orleans vibe with a twist. He takes quirly acoustic songs played live in a coffee house setting and brings them to life with a cymbal, snare, and a box. He has lent a hand in my own band from time to time and lays down a heavy groove one minute and the next leaves space for the notes to ring out and textures of the music to shine. Live- or in the studio- Kevin is a joy to work with and his talent and skill builds confidence in other musicians to be at the top of their game. He brings the best out of us. He is a professional. Quirky, Powerful, Heavy Groove, Delicate Thunder are some of the adjectives I would use to describe Kevin's drumming. Truely one of a kind."


Chris Taylor



"Kevin was a delight to work with in the studio. He quickly learned the arrangements and was able to draw on his wide experience as a drummer/percussionist to play the perfect groove. In a single day he finished drum tracks for about a dozen songs on our CD " Dishised As Poetry " having good energy and complete focus during the whole process. Although he was open to our suggestions, he really didnt need much direction. It seemd like he just read our minds!"


Dana Clark


Lewis and Clark Musical Expedition



" Kevin's drumming brings out a flavor that is unique without overshadowing the song. Kevin plays to and for the song."
