Hi! My name is Eric DeVaughn. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland drumming has been my passion for over 15 years. I attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music on scholarship where I studied with some of the best teachers in the world including John Ramsay (Jazz Messengers) and Mike Mangini (Dream Theater, Steve Vai). I have since taught students in many cities across America and toured the world as a porfessional drummer. Read More

Beginning students can learn their favorite songs or styles of music, while getting a basic foundation in rudiments and syncopation. Advanced students can structure the lesson in a way they would find the most beneficial to their playing style and interests. I like to find out what a student's interests are and build off that. I love to go in different directions and I want to teach students what they want to learn! Read More

Did mention you'll need to PRACTICE...with the metronome:-) Experienced and Advanced students will tell me what they want to be taught. We will then develop a plan to challenge your skills.

I always approach teaching on an individual basis. I find out what the student loves about music, and what made him or her want to learn in the first place. We set realistic goals for pace and have fun. I often mix traditional work with fun work. For example, alongside conventional ways to learn melody and harmony, I'll tie those lessons into specific songs or pieces of music that the student likes, to show the relevance of the material and the importance it has, at the same time keeping the student interested.
