For beginning learners I will focus on drum stick hand placement, grip, and control. This will fundamentally give the student more comfort in rhythm later on in the lessons.

We don't just want to hit the drum kit, but we want to learn what it is we are hitting. Read More

Personally I've felt the sense of improvement after practicing but was still more agitated, but that was college, before I started teaching. Read More

I am largely a self-taught player. I play for 1-3 hours each day, honing my skills and feel. I dont teach reading, although I use basic notation for exercises and grooves.
