    (1)
    I have been drumming since 1993 and I have been a professional drummer since 2009. I studied under the houston legend Joe Raynor. I studied Jazz Drumset Performance at the University of North Texas under Ed Soph. I have been playing in bands my whole career, I released my first album at age 16. I have played drums in every state in the lower 48, I have toured to Europe 8 times. I have performed professionally in these genres: Rock, Ska/Reggae, Jazz, Punk/Hardcore, Rap, Country. My teaching focuses on three areas Technique, Reperitoire (songs), and Theory. I can teach from age 7-70 from beginners to professional. I am a proud Dad and I have the patience to teach your child. Drums is my life, I have seen the world from behind my drumset and I love to share my experience with you.
