    About Chris L.

    5.0
    (2)
    My name is Chris and I've been playing the drums professionally for 14 years. I attended Berklee College of Music for two years back in 2014 and studied with some top level players during my time there. My original / cover band called "Kooked Out" tours up and down the east coast consistently and gigs 5 times a week. Busking on the side and being part of the Faneuil Hall Street Performers Program is another avenue I take to play constantly. Music has become the main way I make my living. I've been teaching privately through Skype for 11 years as well as in person at a studio called Onset School of Music in Wakefield, MA. In addition to that I previously worked at Grover Pro Percussion building custom drum sets for 5 years and have been recording / tracking music with my band for the past 7 years. Please reach out if your interested in expanding your musical skill set, timing and feel on the drums. Also, if you need help or insight about what to expect at a music college, I'm more than happy to do audition prep as well. I am able to teach all genres and have some helpful tips and tricks for most auxiliary percussion such as cajon and tambourine. I look forward to teaching you! Thanks!
