Drums with Vincent R.

Hello everyone! My name is Vinnie, and I am a San Francisco Bay-Area native, and have been an active member in the local music scene for the past decade. A recent graduate from San Jose State University, I earned both a MA & BM in Jazz Studies Performance (also holds AA form Cabrillo College in music), and studied with one of the most in-demand SF Bay-Area drummers, Jason Lewis. With a passion and dedication for teaching, I can help you develop the fundamentals necessary to play the drums in a variety of styles ranging from: jazz, rock, funk, Latin, and orchestral. *** Lesson Details *** My teaching style is supportive, yet challenging. I like to incorporate method books, which are great for reading rhythms and developing coordination. Also, i am interested in what type(s) of music my students want to focus on and help them with the material they are playing in their ensemble(s). After a few months, I aim for students to be able to read rhythms, play the basic rudiments, and gain coordination on the drumset. *** Studio Equipment *** Drumset, marimba. *** Travel Equipment *** Most students have a drumset or snare drum. *** Specialties *** Jazz drumming
