About Jacob R.

(1)
I first started playing drums on pots and pans when I was a wee lad. My parents thankfully fostered my musical inhibitions and purchased an electronic pad at the of 9. I have been playing ever since with a variety of bands performing professionally across the Texas music scene. Although mainly self-taught, I did study with the highly acclaimed Wayne Salzmann for a little under a year. In addition to drum kit, I am a classically trained trombone player who studied under professor Charles Hurt at Texas State. I aim to bring my performance experience and classical music education to all my students, in a way that’s easy to digest and most of all, fun!
I can teach a variety of styles including rock, pop, funk, jazz, blues and metal. The progression is focused on fundamentals, technique and theory to ensure that you can apply these concepts to whatever style of music you'd like to play throughout your music journey. I also do volunteer work teaching drum kit lessons with Kids in a New Groove here in Austin.
If you'd like to hear more of the music I have been involved with, feel free to message me.
