Reading music is essential. To me musicians who don't know how to read music are like people who speak without undertsanding the meaning of the words they say. I also focus on ear training and understanding the instrument naturally, being that I feel its best for the player to have a mulititude of approaches to their understanding of their craft. Books I use in my methods are Carmine Appice Realistic Rock, Rockin Bass volumes 1 and 2, Mel Bay's Killer Fills, and Buddy Rich Snare Drum Rudiments.  Read More

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More

Music has allowed me to travel to 40 of the 50 states. I have played a part in writing, recording and releasing 12 records in my life and performed professionally over 1,000 concerts on a wide range of drums/percussion instruments. I have also been fortunate through music to meet so many wonderful musicians and people from almost every culture around the world which expanded my understanding of the world outside of whatever city I live in.

I start every lesson with the first lesson from my book called DRUM STUFF. It's what I call Basic Beat # 1 and it is the foundation on ANY song in 4/4 timing. As the student progesses, we work on other lessons with the goal of playing songs from various publishing companies, music they may have from band or songs I have personally written out or that they may have heard on the radio.
