    Hey Drummers, I'm a working drummer an percussionist in all major styles, from funk, blues, country, with a background in classical, a jazz degree from a noted William Paterson University. I've been teaching drummers for over 20 years. Adding that, I've played internationally on tours for 4 years... I'm just moved to CO. to raise my daughter and I take her to museums, nature, and the mountains as often as time allows. And enjoy getting calls for frequent recording projects. I love to find out what styles of music the student likes, and I help them get to play along with songs, by "following what I Do"- and I use individually-tailored instruction, and exercises to enhance the development of their limbs as quickly as possible... keeping it light and fun.

    Didn't think online drum lessons would work, but they do and I am thrilled I found Perry as my teacher! His Drum Control book is the perfect guide and I am improving with every lesson. Thanks Perry!

    Returning to drums after several years, I found that the "Drum Control" book Perry created and wrote really cleaned up my technique and got me going again with the essential tools I needed. I can't believe how easy it was with this great book. The combination of his teaching and book got me rockin' in no time! Perry is a real pro and knows what he's doing. I am learning from the best! Thanks Perry!
