Drums with Adam L.

I am a Swedish professional drummer and I graduated from the Los Angeles College of Music with an Associate of Arts degree. Before my education I was taking private lessons from an MI graduate drummer named Svetlan Råket and I have also studied privately with my mentor Joey Heredia. I did also play in various bands and groups for 13 years back in Sweden. I have been studying with great drummers such as Ralph Humphrey (Frank Zappa, Don Ellis etc.), Joe Porcaro (Natalie Cole, Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd etc.), Joey Heredia (Michael Ruff, Scott Henderson, Stevie Wonder, Frank Gambale etc.) and Gary Ferguson (Glenn Hughes, Gary Moore, Steve Lukather, Lana Del Rey etc.). My students can expect personal one-on-one lessons in which I as a teacher will help the student to hone and improve his/her natural talents and to help get rid of any weak spots. I also highly focus on how to be in a band situation and/or working with an artist and how to be and act as a professional musician. I teach various styles in drums such as rock, pop, funk, jazz and latin. We will also run through rudiments, hand/foot technique, sight reading and ear training. During the first lesson I use to ask my student to play various things on the kit or the pad so I can get a good and clear picture on what level we will be start working. My level of students reaches from beginners to advanced players. I hope my services sounds interesting and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! Best Regards Adam
