About Jeff W.

5.0

(12)

Hello, My name is Jeff. I have been playing drum set for 20 years, and teaching drum lessons privately for 9 years. I studied Music Performance at Berklee College of Music as well as Cal State, East Bay. I currently play and perform professionally throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I work with multiple local acts in the genres of: pop, rock, funk, reggae, and hip-hop. I also perform in the high energy, award winning percussion ensemble known as Street Drum Corps. My inspiration comes from all styles of music, people, performances, and the grooves of the Motown Record catalog. I am an extremely hard working, self motivated artist who is passionate about my craft. I am funny, friendly, outgoing and passionate about performing/touring and teaching drum set. Example of our First Lesson: -your choice of a fun song/groove - reading and rudiments -other requests or areas you need help in
