About John
I have spent the past 12 years teaching, recording and gigging all across the country. I'm a full-time musician, currently splitting my time between teaching drums and touring with indie rock band Step Rockets (www.steprockets.com).
I started drumming at the age of 10, honing my chops under the tutelage of drummer/vibraphonist Steve Roehm, member of the acclaimed Twin Cities jazz trio, The New Standards. I continued my musical education at St. Olaf College, where I played drums in the college's nationally accredited Jazz One ensemble while studying percussion with jazz veterans Phil Hey and Dave Hagedorn. I then spent three years teaching students in St. Paul Public Schools while developing a strong base of private drum students in and around the Twin Cities.

I have a thorough understanding of drumming technique coupled with an in-

About Colin M.
Close
19 Years playing experience, 9 years of teaching, stage performance, technique, rudiments, drills, fills, all styles, specializes in rock, funk, hip-hop and R&B.
About Colin
Colin has 20 years of experience spanning all genre's and styles of music. Countless hours of stage performance with bands. A love, drive and passion for music and drumming you won't find in any other instructor! Multiple studio recordings both behind the mixing board and behind the drum set. 10 years of teaching experience, realizing the importance of setting a unique curriculum for each student tailored to fit each individual's goals and interests. I have been involved in bands ever since middle school, starting with rock, and moving on to perform in country bands, hip-hop performances, indie rock bands, and progressive rock bands. A strong knowledge of jazz techniques and music theory as well as the ability to read drum sheet music make me a perfect instructor for any student.
I have had many beginner and intermediate level student's
I have had many beginner and intermediate level student's
and have become proficient in determining what skills each individual student needs to work on as well as helping students progress in their interests, keeping the lessons fun and the student motivated. I can easily transcribe any song as well! So any song you might want to learn, even if there is no sheet music, is totally doable. I love working in odd time signatures and I prefer fancy hi-hat work over heavy double-bass drum use. Progressive / Indie rock is my favorite genre of music to play, but I have tons of fun playing hip-hop, punk, metal, I dabble in jazz, Latin rhythms, and pretty much anything else. I'm always excited to play drums, and I pass this excitement on in my teachings.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons and curriculum's are built around a students experience level, age, and goals. Students will learn the fundamentals of drumming, as well as the ability to add flair and pizzazz to their playing. Within the first 3 months, a beginning level student will have the ability to play basic beats found in many styles of music, as well as feeling comfortable playing to a metronome and keeping time. Lessons will include routines to be practiced by the student on their own time, as well as fun, exciting techniques to keep students interested and motivated to continue playing.
Each Lesson will hold its own highlights depending on the student. I believe getting to know the student and their goals for their drumming is one of the most important aspects of teaching lessons. Understanding whether the student is looking to drum as a hobby and for fun will change the lesson style dramatically compared to a student looking to make a living off drumming. The types of routines, styles and techniques taught should fit into helping the student reach their desired destination.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Lessons in the basement, full band rehearsal set up with 2 drum kits, one for the student, one for the teacher in an acoustically treated room.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I would expect the student to have a drum set and drum sticks. I can provide a drum set for lessons but it is important for the student to have a drum set or practice pad to practice.
*** Specialties ***
I have touched on almost every genre of music. I specialize in rock, progressive rock and fusion.

About Alec T.
Close
We play drums because we want to have fun, so I always have my lessons centered around what ever the student wants to learn. We might learn some of your favorite songs, or figure out that really cool fill you heard. On top of that, I try to challenge my students and give them things that they're not used to, or go outside their box, so to speak. We'll also talk about music theory because I feel its important for students to know.

I taught myself how to play the basics on drums. I was impressed with how Alec was teaching Colton. I decided that it was time to expand my horizons and get more instruction. I have played for about 1 year now and Alec has helped me with technique and skills. He has challenged me to learn different styles of music to help me become better. Alec is very talented and very "clean and solid" when playing drums. Alec has a way of teaching that works for young students and older students. I would recommend Alec to anyone wanting to learn drums.

About Devin
I am a drummer/percussionist in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area. I have been playing drums for 12 years as a part of many groups and ensembles, including cover bands, original bands, percussion ensembles, orchestras, and world music groups. I am proficient in many different percussion instruments. I am well versed in jazz, pop, rock, metal, classical, world (Latin, Arabic, etc), and other genres. I earned a bachelors degree in music from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, MN. Although percussion and drum set were my main focus, I took part in many aspects of music; emphasizing in composition and new media programs as well.

I teach students ranging from child to adult. With the exception of basic rudiments, technique, and other time keeping knowledge, I primarily give student led lessons; guiding the student when needed wit
h questions and answers. I have found this to be the most productive, as the student remains actively engaged with the lesson. I incorporate other instruments into my lessons; this helps the student understand music as a whole and how their parts fits in. For example, I often reference other percussion instruments and melody instruments when listening to recordings. I also will play simple bass or piano lines to accompany the drum set groove played by the student. With todays technology, I stress the importance of recording and critiquing oneself. I offer this as a part of my lessons.
I love playing drums and I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you!

chers. He truly cares about his students and has a positive energy that helps motivate my son to be a better player. Colin has the chops and spectacular sense of timing and song memory. I would recommend Colin to students of all age and ability levels."

"At age 7, we brought my son to Alec for lessons. Even though he could barely touch the ground with his feet, within a month, Alec had him playing Seven Na
tion Army and LOVING it! A year later, he's in a kid-centered Rock band, playing the Beatles and much more!
Alec taught him how to play his sister's favorite song, so he could tap out the beat while she sang. He also taught him Jingle Bells at Christmas time, all at my son's request.
Alec is attentive, patient and supportive. He challenges, while being a confidence-booster; just what my son needs more of."

"I am writing this review as a fellow drum teacher who has directly witnessed Blake’s success as an instructor. I am the full time drum teacher at Schuster
’s Music in Hudson, WI and on many occasions Blake has stepped in for me and taught when I was unavailable. All of my students have always given Blake glowing reviews and are always eager to show me what he taught them the previous week. Through talking with my students, seeing the materials Blake has given them, and witnessing their progress in only a couple weeks, I can very safely say that Blake is able to give very clear instructions and demonstrations of the topics he is teaching all while making the lessons fun, engaging, and inspiring for the students of all ages."

"We hired Alec for the sole purpose of getting our son enough mallet and percussion know-how so that he would have the option to pick "percussion" in 6th G
rade Band (interesting school requirement). In about 3/4th of a school year's worth of one lesson per week with Alec, our son was able to go into tryouts last night and be successful. The band teacher had no idea that our son a. does not play the piano or b. had not taking lessons for much longer than what he has. Our son got the choice to pick percussion. It's a bonus that our son really enjoys Alec; Alec is a very fun and kind person. He is perfect for little boys with short attention spans and good energy!"

I had never played drums before my first lesson but I had a singing background which gave me a good r
ythm. Colin was able to assess my coordination and abilities within that first lesson and understand how hard to push me. Colin is very good at the drums but knows what it takes to get there. Despite his elite skills he is able to relate well to the beginner, understand the different issues they are having, and provide a solution. I've been taking lessons at Colin's house where he has a couple of drum sets in the basement. The equipment he has is very good. It can be a little cold in the basement during a minnesota winter but when you're drumming it's not a big deal. I would say that his basement is an average place to play, but he's got good equipment which is most important. While teaching he doesn't follow a lesson book. He provides a good progression of excersises that allow you to gradually learn while using the entire drum set. Colin is a great teacher who is always willing to answer your questions and provides very fun lessons."
