Whether you want to play rock, hip hop, pop, or anything else, I am a great choice for beginning drummers starting at age 4. I break everything into small pieces, teach each piece one at a time, and then put all of those pieces back together. I focus on practical drumming skills, and I have tons of teaching strategies to help drummers with different learning styles.
My online teaching studio features pro level audio and multiple camera angles to make sure my students see every detail they need to. Check out my studio tour video to see what my online lessons look and sound like.
After each lesson, I record a short (2-4 minute) video where I review the main ideas from our lesson and explain exactly what and how to practice. I also offer online group practice sessions every week. My students and I get together online and hold a technique practice session to help develop strong, smooth and quick hands.
My program is unique because I give my students a chance to collaborate with each other on projects. Check out the video below of a rock song I made with 4 of my students. The drummers in this video have been playing drums for around 8 months - 2 years. You can also watch videos of my drum set ensembles, and my distanced and masked drum circles. I’m always looking for new ways to get my students working together on something fun and interesting!
I hope I can be your drum teacher! If you have any questions, send me a message!

Michael is a very patient and supportive teacher. I am amazed by the full attention he pays to details of playing techniques when playing drums. He always finds the best teaching approach to suit each student's own level and interests. He gives students choices to play, which makes learning a more enjoyable experience. We are really glad that we found Mike for our twins.

Enjoyed my first lesson. I found Michael to be an excellent teacher and extremely interested in the "art" of teaching drums.
