Drums with Damien C.

As stated in my teaching profile, "Taking lessons from me would open your drumming world up to your own interpretations. Once you're ready I take it a few steps further and pick up a bass and/or guitar while you are drumming to develop your feel for timing, fills, rhythm changes, and give your muscle memory and critical thinking skills a workout." In addition to that I have a network of musicians that would make themselves available to play along as well. There's many teachers out there but finding one that is compatible with you and your personality as well as having the ability to let you develop and grow as you want to versus urging or forcing you to be a carbon copy of themselves is the key. If you put me at the top of your list you might not have to look any further. The good thing is that if you do try me first and don't think I'm the right fit for you there are still MANY teachers out there for you to try. I'm currently in a band that's gigging around Milwaukee, Madison, Kenosha and beyond. We've just passed 8yrs together and have been performing live for over 7yrs. I'm a member of the Council of Festival Committees. I have been on the Board of Directors of WAMI, the Wisconsin Area Music Industry, for the past 3 years and have been on the WAMI Youth Showcase Committee, which is held every year at Summerfest for the past 6 years. I am an advocate for original musicians and increasing market share for original music as a whole. I'm proud to announce that I have created and successfully launched an all original performing arts showcase titled, the Midwest Original Music Festival, that took place at Croatian Park in Franklin, WI over the weekend of 8/18 - 8/20. I have many connections within the music industry and I'm an all around good guy to know. I have not paid the $20 through this website for a background check because it would just be a redundant expense for me. I'm a family man with a 9yr old son. No criminal record. Non smoker. No drug or alcohol dependencies. My background has been checked by my son's school so I would be able to be a chaperone. Also, In 2016, I had passed a background check through the Wisconsin Department of Justice to obtain my concealed carry permit for my part time job.
