I started teaching drums in San Francisco in 1995. I teach all levels from beginner to professional in all styles including double bass drums.

I can teach basically any style you are interested in if you show me exactly the song or genre you are working on. We can perfect your fundamentals or take you to the next level of improvisation.

After college I continued to gig professionally, tour, and record and kept up a private studio where I taught upright bass, electric bass and guitar.

I've played a diverse range of music from Afro-beat, Latin, Latin Jazz, RB and Soul to Rock, Funk, Hip-Hop, Pop, Avant-garde, Jam, Americana, and Bluegrass and it has helped me to see the fundamental similarities that exist in all styles.
