His name is Jake the Snake…and the dude is rock steady.

With precision timing and a feel for the beat, Jake is a percussionist who—along with his brother Brad as a duo, or rocking out with legendary local band The Burners—has dazzled the Chester County, PA, music scene for years.

“I have autism and it's hard for me to do stuff," says Jake. “But it's easy for me to drum."

Every day, Jake “the Snake” Herring is living out his childhood dream of becoming a drummer. And he has his lifelong instructor, Anthony Cracchiolo, to thank for some help along the way.
