Drum Lessons in Alverton. Amazing Teachers.

My drum lessons are the most fun for many reasons. I focus you on the music you love, stay as far away from boring material as possible, while teaching you the most important aspects of drumming such as technique, hand positions, posture, pocket, feel, timing, ect. But I use music as the guidance system. We will cover drum rudiments, we will cover different genres like Rock, Pop, Metal, Hip Hop, Classic Rock, Reggae, EDM. We will have a blast.

Hello. My lessons are for beginning and intermediate students looking to improve their skills for school band or personal enjoyment.

My goal is to help my students grow with their comfort and confidence. If you are comfortable and confident then you will have fun. It all works together.

I'm a professional drummer, and studied jazz drums with the legendary Billy Hart at Oberlin Conservatory of Music. I have experience playing jazz, Latin, pop/rock, African, and contemporary Christian music at a professional level.
