    Play the Drums Like a Pro with Simple Lessons from a Master Drummer

    I have developed a natural teaching method that focuses on learning and understanding the building blocks of drum set playing, familiarizing and connecting these building blocks, and applying them to individual expression. I have the ability to take nearly anyone without prior drum set or rhythmic experience, and, within days, turn them into beat playing drummers! My approach focuses on: -building an understanding and relationship with each drum -the basic rudimentary foundation of drumming -how to approach the drums, hold the sticks, set up the drums, and tune the drums -basic mechanical techniques -development of each limb -learning how to read basic drum charts and play to them -learning and playing the most significant beats and patterns in the history of drum set -gaining the ability to effectively teach oneself how to improve as a drummer -learning your favorite songs on drums -how to play in a band

    About Casey C.

    Hi I'm a 35 year old professional musician that has worked hard to become a first call drummer for performance, instruction, and studio session work in the Atlanta area. Over the past decade I have toured internationally, recorded with countless regional, national and local artists, and have gained a positive reputation in the Atlanta community as a unique, innovative, and passionate drum teacher. I studied music at The University of Mississippi and I am qualified to teach numerous styles including Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Jazz, Electronica, World and many others. I have years of experience teaching private and group lessons (I'm a recurring Camp Counselor in Summer music programs). I offer drummers of all ages the inspiration and chance to learn the art of drum set playing within a basic, relaxed, and fun context. I teach music at a local school but I am currently accepting a limited number of students ONLINE.*** *** Studio Equipment *** My drum studio includes 2 drum kits to help aid in visual learning, percussion instruments from around the world, a PA system to play along to music and great vibes! *** Travel Equipment *** For student's home lessons I require only the student's willingness to learn (having a drum or set helps too). *** Specialties *** Based within a fun, relaxed context, Casey has developed a natural teaching method that focuses on learning and understanding the building blocks of RHYTHM, familiarizing and connecting these building blocks, and applying them to individual musical expression. He has the ability to take nearly anyone without prior drum set, percussion or rhythmic experience, and, within days, turn them into beat playing drummers. His approach focuses on: HAVING FUN, building an understanding and relationship with each drum or instrument, the basic rudimentary foundation of rhythm, how to approach the drums, hold the sticks, set up and tune the drums, basic techniques, development limbs, learning how to read basic drum and music charts and play to them, learning and playing the most significant beats and patterns in the history of drum set, and gaining the ability to effectively teach oneself how to improve as a drummer and musician. -Cancellation/Reschedule Policy- Student must give at least 24 hours notice for cancellation or proposing a reschedule date and time (not guranteed) or the lesson will be subject to being marked as "Missed".

    I was skeptical at first about online learning. Now I'm a big believer in it. Casey has been absolutely incredible. Patient, fun and professional. My son has learned so much in the past year, he continues to be motivated and eager to learn drums because of Casey!!!

    Took lessons with Casey for a year and I saw a lot of progress on my drumming. I cherish all our lessons. I highly recommend him.

    As someone who has taught music in the past, I know what it takes to be a good music teacher. Casey has all of those things, which is at least part of the reason why our 9 y/o daughter really loves the drums. Casey is a really fun teacher who loves his students and loves seeing them learn and grow as well. If you're doubtful about whether online lessons can work, it absolutely can... at least if you have Casey for a teacher. He's the best!
