Tim is a master of the groove. With decades of performance chops, his unflappable stage presence and flawless beats are the perfect complements to Dance X’s rhythm section. Tim’s seamless transition through disparate styles comes from his love of a huge variety of music, with a definitive flare for the Funk. He is also a master of strong, solid tempos, maintaining an absolutely captivating cadence that compels the audience to the dance floor. The only thing that Tim does better than laying down an enthralling rhythm is providing epic energy and impeccable reproductions of signature fills.
