Shane R.

Hi, my name is Shane, I’m the Drummer & Producer for the extreme metal band ‘Nebethet’ based out of Austin, TX, and I’ve been playing drums for over 20 years. I started out in middle school band, and specialized in battery percussion through high school, while concurrently marching with a Scottish highland bagpipe band, both of which were instrumental in laying a firm musical foundation rooted in results-oriented practice and a respect for the music as a whole. After school I started working on original projects and doing session work, where I found my stride specializing in metal and double bass drumming, and have played with numerous metal bands, both live and in studio settings. As a teacher my method is simple. Figure out your goals as a student, figure out what’s in your way and close the gap. I’m not a fan of generic lessons or learning stuff that serves no practical purpose to a particular student, and instead we will focus on the specific things you need to get you to where you want to be, regardless of if you have never touched a pair of sticks or if you’re a tenured player looking to take the next step.
