For Drums and all Percussion

Maybe you are just starting out, maybe you have a few or many years of experience.

You are here because you want to be an even better drummer.

I want you to be that, too.

Whether your passion is the full drum set for Rock, Latin, Jazz, Pop music, or you are into other world music such as African, or want to up the ante for your marching drum skills in areas such as Scottish snare or marching drum line, I have you covered.

Like I said, I’ve been playing them all for years, but most of my students come to me to learn or get better at Rock and Roll drum set. I have to tell you, many of my students, even experienced ones, come to me and discover they have a lot to learn when it comes to playing at a truly skilled professional level, and I am delighted to help them get there. You, too.

That’s where you want to be, right?

You want to find and correct your bad habits so you play more efficiently and more powerfully, so you can make your maximum contribution to you band and get the greatest satisfaction out of your playing.

We will assess your technique, from what goes on inside your head to how you are moving your toes, overcome obstacles to practice and good performance, and empower you to use your mental tools and play drums to the greatest effect.

As you know, there is a lot to playing drums, more than a few handfuls of riffs and rudimentals you have picked up over time. I will teach you the skills of drum and percussion musicianship, the power of reading, improve your technique, and musicality for your career and your own enjoyment.

For those of you interested in multi-cultural percussion and drumming forms, I can bring the same benefits.
