Bongo with Dino C.

I am a professional drummer, percussionist I received my first snare drum at around the age of 8 it was great for working on hand control and rudiments. At age 13 I received my first drum kit and has had a passion for playing drums ever since. It was my love of music that built the foundation of my playing and from there, watching and listening to all genres spanning from Rock , Heavy Metal & Progressive Rock to fusion and Jazz , Whether on stage or in the studio, the challenge to "play what's right for the song" is what continues to develop my style and versatility as a musician. I have many influences such as Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Ian Paice, Neil Peart, Barriemore Barlow, and Phil Eheart. Over the years, my experiences range from playing on stage & working as a studio drummer in the US and Europe. My drumming expertise also include teaching and I have been teaching drums for over 35 years. I teach drum students of all different ages and experience levels. My personal passion is playing drums and I firmly believe that great technique is essential to any style of drumming. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become the drummer you want to be!
