Susan is enthused with rhythm, whether it is groovin' in the pocket or experimenting with layered polyrhythms. 

She is all about rhythm’s cyclical patterns and the challenge of coordination while exploring the drum set as an instrument. 

She is influenced by so many different styles of music, particularly anything groove based. 

Susan currently plays in a few bands in addition to freelancing about, living in Denver, Colorado. She has played on several recordings of all genres and toured both nationally and internationally.

Susan finds playing music to be a beautiful thing to do and is always looking forward to spending quality time with her drums. She studied jazz drum set at the University of Oregon and has been playing drums for 20 years.

Susan was a top 10 finalist in the 2014 "Hit Like a Girl" International drumming contest.

She has toured nationally with multiple bands including March Fourth and internationally with multiple bands, including EMA opening 15 shows for Depeche Mode.
