Drum Lessons California

Instruments: Drums

It did not take long after I first began playing drums in the 4th grade to realize that this was something that I wanted to center my life around. I had the good fortune to attend college for music as well as study at Drummers Collective. I started teaching just after college at several local music stores. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities teaching every style of music and playing imaginable.  As a player I have had the opportunity to play with all kinds of ensembles and bands all over the country.

You need the basic technique to get your hands moving, then you need to read to understand rhythms and counting etc, then you need coordination if you are playing drumset, then you can start to create something that is yours! I also play piano and can teach some theory on the side. Read More
