Hello fellow drummers. Thanks for considering me as your potential drum consultant (teacher can sound so harsh ha). I really love TRM's tagline of "learning to play from the heart". FUN : Drumming should first of all be fun ! Learning technique is very important, ; learning to ENJOY playing your instrument, even moreso. FUN should be the prime motive for playing any type of music, any instrument. I really hope to help you create fun, new & interesting-heartfelt music. If you need help learning a drum part from your favorite artist, for school, or your own band, I feel I can help. I started drumming at age 3, when I only had a snare, cheap hi-hat & ride cymbal. I was first mentored by my uncle Saran, and encouraged by my parents. Dad gave me my first drum set when I was 5. FAMILY.. That leads me to this : THANK ALL YOU moms, dads, wives, husbands, relatives and others who've enabled us drummers to grow & spread our wings on our musical journey. Your FAMILY support is priceless. I've learned directly from some excellent drum teachers and band directors, and been influenced by many amateur & professional drummer /musicians, from many genres. This has afforded me a considerable vocabulary which translates into a good teacher / student relationship. I'm not too proud to learn from you, and look forward to what you bring to the drumming table. I really hope to help bring out your unique expression on the kit. I've performed semi-professionally, gigging with Latin Rock & Jazz bands in New York, to C&W bands in Lavernia, TX. I've had the wonderful opportunity to record tracks for a couple of albums with my long time buddies in the Indie Rock group Neccos for Breakfast-from Cleveland, Ohio. Check out their Masai Music Project, which paired Cleveland High School musicians with kids their age living in Kenya, Africa. Was definitely a highlight... Music IS about FAMILY and FUN. In addition to our own families, we're part of a broader musical family-a great fraternity to which to belong. Let's have fun making heartfelt music together! That's the point after all. Happy drumming!-jb
