A\'Daris W.

Hello! My name is A'Daris. I am originally from Waterloo, Iowa and now living in the Phoenix area. My passion is music and music production. I feel as my passion should include teaching and helping others understand the passion. I personally taught myself how to play the drums at the age of three by watching the movie, "Drumline" over and over again, I then persuaded by parents into taking private lessons at a local music shop in my hometown. I took private lessons with my mentor Delayne Stallman for eleven years. I was in band class every year of school since 2nd grade, and starting in middle school I was named section leader of our school bands percussion section. I then went on to high school, where I was in the marching band for all four years as well as small band, jazz band and pep band. Starting my sophomore year of high school, I was named section leader of the marching bands percussion, as a sophomore. I also played in the All-State Percussion Band. As well as playing in the neighborhood drill teams and playing the drums for my family church. I do not have a drumset with me in household, unfortunately that’s back in Iowa for now, but I do have multiple drum pads and a lot of work! Thank you!
