If you are just starting out wanting to play drums or you are a professional drummer looking to sharpen your skills, I can help. I have been teaching drums for 34 years and have produced many successful drummers. Many have gone on to tour the world. Many have gone on to become teachers and college professors themselves. I do a lot with schools to help prepare for NYSSMA solos for both Snare Drum and Drum set as well as auditions for music schools. I teach all levels and styles. I started playing drums at four years old and started playing professionally at age 16 and this is all I have ever done. I have had some recent holes in my schedule due to people graduating school and moving out of town so that's why the advertising. I'm very dedicated in my teaching and love it. I would love the opportunity to teach you so get in touch.
