I encourage an understanding of music and drum-set/percussion performance by listening/analysis of music andtranscription of different rhythmswith a practical application to the drums/percussion. I aim to promote multi-cultural awareness by incorporating traditional rhythms from around the globe into modern-day drum-set and percussion performance.

A few of the many books I use are 'Syncopation for the Modern Drummer' by Ted Reed, Stick Control for the Snare Drummer by George Stone and Teaching Rhythms by Joel Rothman. Read More
