    About Eric B.

    I have played drums professionally since the early 1980's in a variety of bands primarily around Chicagoland. When I am not performing locally, I teach drums and percussion. My primary focus as a drummer is Blues and Rock music on drumkit, along with also teaching hand percussion. I also play ukulele too. Currently I am working on recording original compositions for my music project: Tiki Cowboys. I also understand the behaviors of students on the Autism Spectrum and can work with those individuals with Special Needs as well.

    Eric "Baron" Behrenfeld

    I am a professional drummer with over 30 years experience as a working musician. I am teaching students seeking to learn how to play in a band with other musicians, learn how to take care of and tune drums, learn about recording drums, or just simply wanting to play drums for personal enjoyment and learning about percussion instruments.
