He has also recorded numerous projects on both drumset and percussion. As a recording musician, he has acquired numerous drums and a barrage of percussion instruments to meet all of the demands of the studio.

Scot has been teaching for 19 years. He taught privately at first, then as an instructor for the Southeast Chamber Music Institute (TTU) and at Freedom Middle School (Franklin, TN), and he is currently serving as adjunct faculty at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN.

The Matrix Percussion Trio’s mission is to bring a wide variety of percussion music to children in the Middle Tennessee school systems.

Most recently, Scot co-wrote an R&B song with Todd London and Brian Siewert that aired on multiple episodes of GUIDING LIGHT.
