Aaron Latham Drum Lessons

My passion for drumming has brought me to the point where I could go out into the world and play for potential bands with the experience that I've gained. At an early age, Jerry Kalaf taught me the skills and fundamentals I needed to become a better drummer. I'm attained a bachelors degree in percussion at Musicians Institute but a degree is not something needed to achieve the main thing I got from college was my connections to the music industry. I have experience teaching at Mar Vista Family Center and I've had the honor of being a part of a few successful and indi bands.
