    Hey drummers! Learn to groove to the music you love! My name is Dani. I am a professional drummer and teacher. Drums and music have always been my biggest passion. My number one goal in teaching is to get my students as excited as I am about this incredible instrument. And why shouldn't they? This is one of the few (if not the only) instruments that use all four limbs simultaneously. How crazy is that? Imagine how many rhythms, sounds and melodies can be created? Endless! Drums are the heart of the music all around the world! Whether it's rock 'n roll, funk, jazz, hip-hop, salsa, samba, or electronic music, the drums are what make everything feel so good! If you too would like to begin (or continue) exploring this amazing world of rhythm and sound, you are welcome to contact me to schedule a lesson. I teach at my studio in Crown Heights as well as at the students' homes. All ages and levels are welcome! Feel free to contact me for more information. All the best, Dani A little about me: * Performed in music festivals worldwide including Montreal Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, Jazz in Marciac, as well as renowned jazz clubs worldwide such as Blue Note, Birdland, Jazz Standard, Ronnie Scott’s, Bimhuis, New Morning and The Cotton Club. * Artists I've worked with Include Grammy-nominated Jazz Vocalist Cyrille Aimee, rock star Cinjun Tate(of Remy Zero), and Funk legend Fred Thomas, who was James Brown's bassist for over 30 years, appearing on many of his most iconic recordings. *** Travel Equipment *** I can provide a snare drum and pad for the first few lessons but will require my students to purchase a beginner drum kit once needed ( usually within a month or so). *** Specialties *** I work according to each students level, goals and time constraints. In my lessons I make sure to devide our time between technique,reading and practical playing( learning grooves to songs starting from basic rock through swing, latin and funk)

    My 10 year old son has been taking drum lessons with DD for more than a year now. He is a wonderful teacher and is very patient. My son does not always give his best focus / concentration when it comes to learning. DD is able to provide new and interesting materials to keep him interested and inspired every week. In addition, DD is super punctual and easy to work with when it comes to scheduling. I'm so glad that I found your profile online! Thank you, Dani!

    Dani is truly an amazing teacher and I'm so fortunate to have found him. He is a highly skilled musician and phenomenal drummer who knows how to explain and teach at my level. I've improved so much in a short amount of time by practicing what Dani gives me to work on and I've been having a blast, too. Not only is Dani a great teacher and drummer but he's also kind, patient and fun to learn from. Best drum teacher I could have wished for!!!

    I've been taking drum lessons with Dani since January (6 months) and have been really enjoying our lessons. Dani's a great teacher with a positive attitude and that made all the difference. I'd leave the lessons feeling excited and inspired to practice the new beats he taught me. Super glad we're able to continue our lessons online during this period. I can't recommend him enough!
