Drums with Christian F.

NY DRUM SCHOOL

I'm offering qualified Drum set lessons for Beginners to Advanced students, students found my teaching very efficient, patient and fun too (I have lots of references). You'll learn all styles (eg. Rock/Pop/Hip-Hop/Metal/Funk/Jazz/Latin, Afro-Cuban/Brazil) and techniques for playing in a band or whatever you have in mind. We also work on Soloing, Coordination, Independence, Sight reading and much more. I use play-along CD's, metronome, drum computer, recording & filming (for evaluation) the students and other great teaching materials. Also included are topics that the student brings to the lesson (for example: certain drum parts for favorite songs, or playing in a band, recording etc…) All this leads to a custom made curriculum for fast and great improvement. I've been playing drums for 30 years in all kind of musicals settings w/ world famous musicians and I've been teaching since 17 years. I am right now playing around town a lot w/ a lot of different artists, released three solo CD s & ten CD s w/ other groups/projects. I hold BA andMA degrees, wrote two drum books, several articles for the "Modern Drummer "Magazine (world's #1 Drum-magazine) and served as a judge at the "Drum Off" Competition.
