Recorded December 2025
Charles is a drummer from New York who started gigging at just 11 years old.
We cover what it was like growing up on the bandstand, his time with Billy Drummond and Kenny Washington at Juilliard, studying with the incredible Marvin “Bugalu” Smith, and a lot more.
Despite being relatively young, Charles has an incredible amount of experience and drops a lot of knowledge in this episode.
