I am happy to announce that I have been offering drum and percussion lessons since July 2009. If you or anyone you know might be interested please contact me as soon as possible. I am open to students from age 5-100. I teach the methods of modern drumming as well as the older foundation styles. I also teach percussion and how to mix regular drums with percussion to create a unique sound that I use in The Burning Angels. Lessons are planned for one session a week, price is confidential (contact me for more information/rates).

One of the big things I teach is how to use a click track when playing live. You would be surprised how many professionals use one, and its a nice little safety net, just in case. Tre Cool of Green Day once said “my tempo live, can speed up and slow down, it all has to do with excitement and the big crowds.” I like to personally have that security of knowing I am always in time. Also, I use the click in lessons, and teach that it is okay to use one even in a practice situation. “A drummer that cannot keep time is so useless, that I dont even consider them a musician. – Taking Back Sunday.”

I also teach business of music, and marketing for the drummer so the student can hit the ground running with a nice demo and press kit to submit to various bands for work.

So if you are interested, let me know!
