Musical influences are varied, at a young age he was hearing Motown , the Beatles, early rocker stuff like the Vanilla Fudge, moving on to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Yes, King Crimson, ELP, then discovering Jazz Fusion in the seventies. All this diversity has had aheavy impact on his own style bringing a mix of funk, rock , blues, swing and soul to the kit at every performance.
 
Jeff's equipment includes Yamaha maple custom drums, Sonor drums, some custom prototype drums and a variety of snares. Triggering is also an option at shows for enhancement or effects. Cymbals of choice Are Paiste. Also a custom "drumatar" is sometimes used for smaller venues or duo gigs.
