About

I love to teach all types of students! From young to old, beginner to advanced, and everyone else. I have been teaching for over 7 years. I have a bachelors degree in jazz drums from UCLA and currently play professionally as a touring and session drummer in Los Angeles.

I have lots of knowledge surrounding many different genres like rock, jazz, Afro-Cuban, pop and more. I enjoy working with my students to create tangible ways for them to achieve their goals on the drums and will tailor the curriculum to best fit each student.

I also can teach students how to record, edit and mix their own drums so they can begin creating their own music.

I love everything about music. Playing drums helps me express myself creatively and is a healthy outlet for any emotions I am feeling. I love being able to connect with other people through music.

    I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Oliver since we were in high school, when I played with him in jazz ensembles and small groups. Since then, he’s become an integral part of our band Molly with Charles, and many other side projects. He’s a really sweet, positive individual who is also a really talented and dedicated drummer and multi-instrumentalist. I really can’t recommend highly enough as a teacher.

    Oliver is a very skilled, knowledgeable, and extremely encouraging teacher. I’ve been studying with him for a few months now and drumming really feels natural now!

    Frequently asked questions

    I always try get a sense of the students goals, learning styles, and any previous knowledge on the first lesson. I then tailor a curriculum for the student using methods like sheet music, demonstrating grooves, playing along to songs etc. I want to help my students achieve their own goals on the drums! 

    I have completed a bachelors degree in global jazz studies drumset performance. I have had over 8 years of formal music education and over 13 years of drum lessons. I am also employed as the advanced drum instructor at guitar center where I have been teaching for 3 years.
