    I have been playing drums for 13 years and have played with numerous bay area bands and have been teaching private lessons since 2005. I have experience with Rock, Jazz, Trip Hop, Funk, Reggae, and Soul. Teaching and playing drums is my passion and I always strive to keep my students interested and challenged along with the patience necessary to teach some one learning an instrument for the first time. I have experience with teaching kids up to adults no matter what level you are at! To see my current project and live videos please visit the website located in my experience page! Thanks! *** Lesson Details *** I have specific exercises to build up your coordination and stamina to start with. I also focus on technique and posture to you in the best position to be successful. I also like to encourage students to bring in songs or exercises they want to learn. I have patience and I am always open to questions along with wanting to push my students to get better. I also like to incorporate different rhythms and styles to expand your palette and help you no matter what style you are playing. *** Specialties *** Rock, Jazz, Pop, Trip Hop.

    Benjamin Winter

    I also have recently joined the folk rock/americana band Benjamin Winter and the Make Believe. This has given me another style to play around with and has improved my brush technique which in this project is about half the songs.
