Instruments: Drums

Hearing someone practicing the drums can be down right annoying, especially for your household and neighbors. So my method helps the student practice with minimal resistance from parents, peers and siblings. Electronic drums are becoming popular but also reduce the excitement of acoustic drums and cymbals. So my method is open to all variations of modern "stick" drums. Lessons will be adjusted to what the student wants to do. I have books to recommend like "Syncopation" by Ted Reed and "Realist Rock" by Carmine Appice. Read More

I would discuss the importance of musicality and explore the different ways to portray music. Drummers are also musicians. Read More

I like to emphasize why we are dong certain things and how those things will help you. Read More
