I've got 23 years of drumming experience and 14 years of teaching experience spanning all genres and styles of music. Countless hours of stage performance with bands. A love, drive, and passion for music and drumming you won't find in any other instructor! multiple studio recordings both behind the mixing board and behind the drum set. 10 years of teaching experience, realizing the importance of setting a unique curriculum for each student tailored to fit each individual's goals and interests. I have been involved in bands ever since middle school, starting with rock, and moving on to perform in country bands, hip-hop performances, indie rock bands, and progressive rock bands. I have done a decent amount of jazz studies but specialize in rock drumming.  I have had many beginner and intermediate level student's and have become proficient in determining what skills each individual student needs to work on as well as helping students progress in their interests, keeping the lessons fun and the student motivated. I can easily transcribe any song as well! So any song you might want to learn, even if there is no sheet music, is totally doable. I love working in odd time signatures and I prefer fancy hi-hat work over heavy double-bass drug use. Progressive / Indie rock is my favorite genre of music to play, but I have tons of fun playing hip-hop, punk, metal, I dabble in jazz, Latin rhythms, and pretty much anything else. I' always excited to play drums, and I pass this excitement on in my teachings.   Visit my website for sample videos and lessons-
