My name is Dylan. Music is a huge part of my life. I started playing drums in 7th grade and haven't put my sticks down yet. After playing in many Sacramento based bands, I wanted more from my instrument. I enrolled into the Musicians Institute (MI) in Hollywood, Ca. I graduated with an Associates of Arts degree in drums. Teaching and performing drums is what I take very seriously. I choose to teach because of the pure joy and excitement I get from seeing people learning the drums. I prefer
...
to teach beginner to (advanced) intermediate students. I can teach advanced concepts but what interest me is your sound, confidence and control on the drums. I'm laid back and easy going. Assignments are structured around your skill and interests.
