Drums with Derrick J.

Hi! My name is Derrick. I've been playing drums professionally for over 25 years with local and national talent. I studied Jazz drumming with Mr. Grady Tate (drummer for Jimmy Smith) while attending Howard University in Washington, DC. I enjoy working with those aspiring to play drums in a musical setting as well as just for fun or hobby. My teaching style is laid back but serious. I believe in getting the very best out of each talented student I come across. You will learn to perfect the basics, read music, and play like a pro!
