Benefits
Learn on your own drumkit in the
privacy of your own home at a time most convenient for you.
We will be able to work at your own pace and for your particular style.
Since everybody is different I will create a curriculum designed specifically for you to
ensure that you will get the most benefit out of the lesson experience.
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. I also teach grooves, fills, and time signatures for all styles of music and share the unlimited possibilities of drumming and percussion throughout the entire rhythmic spectrum.
Upon
completion of these fundamentals, the student will then learn the books listed
in the materials section below, grooves on the
groove lab section of my website and we will study
a variety of 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; I also scan and post lessons on the downloads page and student pages.
