Drum Lessons in Olustee, FL

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion

I had many students who were mostly children. I discovered that I had a talent and passion for teaching the instrument.

My experience spans 20 years, from Miami to LA. I have played music with, and recorded with, Grammy Award winning artists. I have been a performing musician since High School and have played 1000's of gigs.

Meanwhile, I found the time to teach/mentor over 100 music and production students while developing an original style off teaching rhythm that can be applied to ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. Read More
