Mase's Pro Drum Lessons
About
My approach to teaching drums lies heavily upon the student's musical interests and desire to play. Applying what music the student listens to directly to the drums, along with tying in technique, timing, and solidity is a recipe for a improved player
I love spreading the knowledge and joy that comes with playing the drums. I take pride in teaching fluidity, feel, and how the human body and drumming go hand in hand. Circling all of that back to technical approaches is a great way to understand the instrument and play better!
