I have been playing drums most of my life. Through the many years of playing in band in the local clubs, I have developed a large variety of styles and technique, as each band I played with brought new challenges. Playing with my bands typically 5 nights a week for years has given me a lot of time molding my skills as well as working in the recording studios cutting drum tracks for my bands as well as other local artists. I also sang lead and backup vocals in all my bands, a challenge for any drummer playing drums and singing at the same time. My love for drumming started about the age of 4. I started learning technique in the 4th grade school band. I continued through high school learning snare drum technique along with a variety of percussion instruments. Marching band also helped to push my technique. I also started lessons with several well respected drum instructors in the Metro Detroit area. This helped to focus me to work with drum set technique and explore different styles of playing. At 17, I joined my first band playing professionally in the Detroit area clubs. I have continued to play and perform over the years with a number of bands playing all over Michigan, Canada, Ohio and Pennsylvania. I have also spent a lot of time in the recording studios with my own bands as well as laying down drum and vocal tracks for other musicians. At 19, I started to teach private drum lessons. I have continued to teach over the years with students of all ages. I have also hosted several local Drum Jams recitals featuring many of my drum student. I take pride in seeing my students grow and develop as solid confident players!
