Kevin has been drumming for over 25 years. He remembers at age 10 riding his bike with no hands through the woods of his northern New Jersey hometown while banging out, with sticks on his handlebars, a rhumba rhythm he had just learned from his teacher, Frank Marapodi. Apparently that's when Kevin's fascination with rhythm was locked in for good. He also remembers meeting Buddy Rich. And he certainly hasn't forgotten, years later in college, when the late great Stan Getz complimented his drumming.

A philosophy graduate from Stanford University in 1989, Kevin has been drumming professionally around the San Francisco Bay Area and western United States since, playing with bands such as Lane & the Badass Chickenbones, APE, The Cowlicks, YellowWood Junction, Hand of Kindness, Jamie Clark and the Refractors, Brian Wachhorst, Adamosa International, and Barefoot. With these bands he has shared venues with Santana, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Ben Harper, Blondie, Everlast, Mick Taylor, Dave Alvin, Link Wray, Laika and the Cosmonauts and others. He studied under David Garibaldi and, in 1995, took up conga studies with Jorge Bermudez and tabla studies with Tim Witter.

In the mid-90s, Kevin began exploring the depths of MIDI programming, loop production and sound design, and has provided services to E-mu Systems and Creative, Inc. designing loops for their Sound Libraries, groove content for their Planet Earth sound module, and his own collection of groove loops and MIDI sequences for sale at www.soundfont.com.

Kevin has also garnered numerous drum and percussion credits on film and commercial soundtracks for Miramax, Tristar, Electronic Arts, IBM, Levis, Isuzu, and others.
