I have been a student of the drums myself for 17 years. I started like many musicians have, learning to play a musical instrument in the school band. I picked up some drum sticks and haven't put them down since. My favorite styles of music are funk and rock. I have studied orchestral drumming, drumset, and music theory for 2 years at the collegiate level. I have taken several private lessons with well renown drummers and clinicians. Ranging from Dom Famularo and Phil Maturano, to Evan Stone and Dave Elitch. Please take the time to look them up and take in their amazing playing abilities. I currently play with 3 bands and record whenever the opportunity arises.
