Lesson Information
My work
has enabled me to devote countless hours in my favorite environment; behind the
drum kit.
I have continued to work on and improve my style and look forward to sharing my
musical knowledge with others.
If you are interested in drum lessons please contact me via e-mail or phone and I will be happy to get you
or your son/daughter started.
I teach
the fundamentals of rock, blues and funk drumming.
Upon
completion of these fundamentals, the students will then learn and rehearse a
song of their choice. After the song is learned & completed, we will study
many grooves and fills that will be beneficial to the student and take their playing to
the next level.
We will also take a look at lessons given in the magazine
“Modern Drummer.” This is a magazine in which some of the most popular drummers
in the music industry impart their knowledge of the fundamentals of drumming.
I provide copies of all required lesson
material for
all of my students.
