Woodland Hills, CA Drum Lessons

Want to be able to play your favorite cover songs with your friends? Or become the next drumming sensation? Let's make it happen! I have 17 years of experience teaching students of all ages, levels, ambitions and genres.

Drums is my primary instrument, the one I chose to follow as a career in music. Drums make us dance, make us smile, and they are simply extremely fun to play. The most important thing I focus on is in playing music with the drums. There is nothing more rewarding and fun than playing with and for other people. Whether you are interested in learning how to play your favorite pop or rock song or a jazz standard, I can teach you what makes drumming unique in each style, and what you will need to know to express yourself in the instrument.

I have been playing drums since I was 5 years old! I have my undergraduate degree in Percussion and Music Composition and a Graduate degree in Music Composition. I work as a session drummer on recording sessions, and I can teach nearly any style of music--rock, jazz, folk, latin, and more!

Andrew has studied drums for nearly his entire life with some of the best musicians in the country. He offers lessons in everything from marching snare drum to orchestral music to drum set.

Jeffrey Grant teaches classical percussion along with many other percussion instruments. He has taught beginning students as young as 8 years old and is also qualified and prepared to teach much older advanced students.

Jeffrey encourages multilayered learning in which the students will be exposed to basic technique, sound production, music theory, modern application and most importantly how to have fun playing these instruments!

I'm an experienced drum teacher, my main focus is to find out what your goals are and help you achieve them! The lessons will be tailored to your specific needs in a fun, and always musical way. You'll learn rudiments, technique, and reading while playing along to your favorite songs.

Whatever your aims with the instrument, I can help you achieve them. You may be a complete beginner learning to play drums from scratch, an established player looking to improve technique or music reading skills, or you may be looking for a way to reduce stress or simply start a new hobby. Whatever your aims or aspirations, I can help you by providing a tailored plan of tuition that suits your needs, while being fun, entertaining, and hugely rewarding at the same time.

Want to learn drums? Would love to teach you at your home or in my studio! God Bless you!

The drums are the backbone of most music, so you have to be able to feel the groove and stay tight and on top of the beat. I encourage students to pick their favorite songs, and we drum to those while learning proper technique, rudiments, song form, fills, rhythm, different grooves / beats, and anything they want to know about the drums. I have been playing the drums for over sixteen years and have a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the Berklee College of Music. Drums is a beautiful art and form of expression and is just the tip of the iceberg we can tackle called Music.

using my experience in 15 years on drums, including lessons and recording sessions for the improvement of the student, all levels and ages.
