Learn to Play Drums with a Local Performing Musician!
Hello!
Are you looking to learn how to play the drums? I'm your guy!
My name is Aaron, and I’m a drummer of over 15 years. I work as a farmer and play drums in my band, Dirty Bodies, in my free time. My previous drumming experience spans many settings and disciplines, including playing in another rock band in Oakland, CA, significant time spent with drum lines and marching percussion, including the NC State University Power Sound of the South Marching Band and the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band, jazz bands, a steel drum band, and playing concert percussion.
I am classically trained and have a strong background rooted in fundamentals and technique. I also want to teach you what you want to learn, and help you meet whatever your drumming goals may be! My number one goal is for folks to say “Wow, they make it looks easy!” when they see you drum.
Skills we can work on can include reading sheet music, proper technique and stick control, learning rhythms and rudiments, from beginner to advanced, learning drumset grooves and fills across different styles (rock, jazz, Latin, etc.), learning to practice effectively, more advanced rudiments and skills used in marching percussion, and learning your favorite songs on the drums
My lessons are inclusive spaces for people of any background. I strive to make learning comfortable and fun, and have experience teaching kids! Location can be at my home or yours.

Hello!
My name is Aaron, and I’m a drummer of 15 years. I work full time as a farmer and play drums in my band, Dirty Bodies, in my free time. My previous drumming experience spans many settings and disciplines, including playing in another rock band in Oakland, CA, significant time spent with drum lines and marching percussion, including the NC State University Power Sound of the South Marching Band and the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band, jazz bands, a steel drum band, and playing concert percussion throughout school.
I am classically trained and have a strong background rooted in fundamentals and technique. I also want to teach you what you want to learn, and help you meet whatever your drumming goals may be! My number one goal is for folks to say “Wow, they make it looks easy!” when they see you drum.

I aim to provide a stress-free, comfortable, and enjoyable setting for you to grow as a musician and have as much fun drumming as possible.

Aaron is very professional and is a wonderful teacher. My 10-year-old son enjoyed his lessons and learned a lot. Aaron has a kind demeanor that allowed my son to feel comfortable making mistakes and trying again. He made good use of the lesson time and he moves at the pace of the child, giving them confidence. We highly recommend him as an instructor.

Aaron worked with my daughter who was 8 at the time for several weeks while staying with us. She had a great time with him and after just a few lessons she was able to play some basic patterns along with me while I played guitar. He's great with kids and a very patient and committed teacher!

My time so far with Aaron has been great. I have a little bit of experience with guitar and piano, but have always wanted to learn how to play drums. In comes Aaron. He is very knowledgeable about drums and has the extensive experience to prove it. He’s proficient in a wide array of drumming styles and was able to get me comfortable with keeping a simple drum beat in just a few lessons as well as understand the logic behind drumming. He adapts the lesson when I am struggling with understanding something and is very attentive. I’m excited for what the future holds learning with Aaron!
