Elrama, PA Drum Lessons

My mission, is to create a private and educational environment to students of all ages. One that enriches their senses to music, through reading, writing, ear training, performance and technique.

I can teach ROCK drumming and Percussion techniques. As a Composer and Professional Musician (guitar/saxophone) I also have a comprehensive understanding of poly-rhythmic studies and phrasing.

Private drum lessons available for beginning to advanced drum students. The curriculum includes learning to read music through a method book and applying that knowledge to real songs in chart form. Rudiments, drum grooves, sticking, drum fills, keeping tempo, and songs will be touched upon in lessons. Advanced studies include learning more advanced concepts on the drum set. Travel available for in home lessons up to 15 miles pending location, scheduling, and availability. 2 weeks or more notice is required for discontinuation of lessons.

I've been playing and teaching drums for 10 years now. I will help students develop all the different techniques involved in becoming a proficient drummer. Increasing their coordination in understanding how to execute the basics of rhythmic dictation all the way to complicated syncopations. Drum lessons are not available In-Studio.

Music is about passion, creating a true connection between how your soul feels and how your body reacts. If you've got desire and drive, I have the necessary tools to help you focus and harness your passions, so you’ll learn valuable life skills, along with new ways of expressing yourself!

I will design a curriculum tailored to your goals, but will also create a solid foundation, allowing you to tackle any genre your heart desires.

After more than 15 years of experience playing drums, 10+ different teachers, countless hours of researching and experimenting, I will be able to point you in the direction you need to progress as efficiently as possible towards your goals. Includes thorough work on technique, time, versatility on styles, transcribing songs.... I like to bring attention on sound, posture, critical listening and musicality; the best of what I gathered from my years at Berklee and as a musician.

Learn the basics of playing drum set and how to play in a band. I can teach you where to use fills in songs and what role drums play in a group.

With currently over 17 years of drumming experience, 10 years of performing and working professionally in the Rock/Metal industry, and being featured on tons of recordings, interviews, and magazines. I will take each of my students with their specific set of goals and cater each lesson directly to whatever it might be. Whether its sticking technique, rudiments, genre specific, polyrhythms, groove technique, composition, understanding sheet music, tech questions, playback rigs, and then some. I'm here to share what I've learned along the way and to continue learning from everyone else!
