As a drummer and Bay Area native, CK has been playing since he was 10 years old. He studied composition and theory at College of Marin and then on to Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. CK has cultivated an approach leading to a love of listening to what a song or piece of music needs while being spontaneous. He believes that sensitivity and force should co-exist in drumming. As a producer and engineer CK has recorded and produced over 250 projects in the last 25+ years ranging in styles from Pop and Rock to Latin jazz, Funk ,Folk, Klezmer, Middle Eastern to Blues, Electronica, Devotional and Brazilian.

He has been in theater partnership with Lanny Harrison since 1987!
