- I have been teaching for over 30 years and have developed a teaching style that allows the student to learn and progress while building a foundation based on proper technique. My students benefit from the wealth of knowledge and personal experience that I have accumulated from years of studies with some of the worlds greatest master drummers as well as my 30 plus years as a professional musician. As an educator I have trained many students that have gone on to become very accomplished professionals. Whether you are a beginner looking for someone to get you started out with hand drumming or an advanced player that is looking to expand your knowledge and technique I will recognize and design a study program in order to bring you to your full potential. Also available for online classes.
