About Ben E.
5.0
(1)
Hi there! My name is Ben E. and I have 17 years of experience playing drums and over 2 years teaching. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and have performed in numerous bands of various styles.
I have played in jazz combos and big bands. One of my groups won a Downbeat Magazine award and performed at the International Association for Jazz Education in Long Beach, as well as the Monterey Jazz festival.
I also have performed and recorded with multiple rock groups including styles such as: 60s classic rock, 90s/00s alternative rock, pop rock, and metal.
I have a Certificate in Music Industry Studies and am currently a student at the University of Southern California where I play snare drum in the USC Trojan Marching Band Drumline.
I believe the process of learning drums requires the development of essential rudiments, timing, proper technique, and FUN!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
