Limp Bizkit's drummer and a founder member, born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1977. He studied jazz drumming at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and joined the band on bassist Sam Rivers's recommendation. He was one of Orange County Drum & Percussion's original artists, and is back with the relaunched brand, with a signature snare in 2026.
2026 — OCDP returns, and a signature snare
Guitar Center relaunched OCDP in April 2026 and Modern Drummer reported him "back on the roster", adding that his classic OCDPs "sounded and looked as great as ever". His signature snare followed in October: a vented 14"x6" maple drum in a graffiti wrap he designed, limited to 50. Drummer's Review describes his recent stadium setup as one kick, six toms and a lot of Zildjians. Nobody has published the sizes.

2024 — The Loserville tour
Modern Drummer spent an afternoon with him on the Loserville tour and filmed a rundown of his "OC drums", published that October alongside a podcast interview. The items marked "per Equipboard" are its notes on that video. The rest comes from his Remo artist page, which lists his heads and credits him as an OCDP, Zildjian, Remo and Gibraltar artist. Gibraltar has built him custom racks, including one in 2019. Wikipedia says he was a longtime Pearl hardware endorser before that.

2000 — The Modern Drummer cover and the Orange County kit
The year he made the cover of Modern Drummer's November issue, in the thick of Limp Bizkit's biggest years. He was one of OCDP's original artists, alongside drummers from Blink-182, No Doubt, Slipknot and Deftones. The cymbals here are Equipboard's reading of the setup photo in that issue, so treat them as second-hand. The drum sizes aren't published anywhere we could find.
