Hi. My name is Asael Escribano. I am 31 years old and I have been teaching at home on Saturdays for the past 3 years. I like to help people who are either beginning their journey as drummers or who are wanting to try to learn drums. I use an approach that is not completely theoretical but rather practical and focused on teaching rhytms and simple patterns to make it less “boring” and more enjoyable.

Professional, versatile drummer with over 16 years of experience and as a professional player and a range of styles runs the gamut from playing stadiums to small clubs, from touring internationally to working in the studio, from playing speed punk with Rehasher to playing soul and funk music with The Savants of Soul.
