    The lessons go at the pace of the student and Eric finds a way every time to meld the methods all drummers need to know and ones specific to the students goals themselves

    I found Eric through Lessons.com. I am an adult student with no previous musical experience. Realizing this, Eric has been able to teach me by adapting his teaching style to be more in tune with my level of knowledge. As a result, I have made significant progress in over a year. Eric is not only a great teacher, but he is also a compassionate human who knows how to balance the lessons with other aspects of life, and he does a great job of making music and life go together. I highly recommend Eric for any level of drummer, from beginner to John Freaking Bonham.

    Frequently asked questions

    I want to facilitate your potential using RHYTHM and drumming.  We will spend time to review Goals and set you up for SUCCESS on the level you wish to achieve - from professional touring player; to weekend warrior, prep for school; private lessons to relieve stress and experience something new and FUN!

    This time is all about YOU and how you want to spend your time!!!

    my learning has been for more than 40 years of playing, performing and teaching music and communicating.  University learning?

    Yes! DePaul University here in Chicago  and Iowa State (BA in communications), I have played more than 1000 gigs in my life and have taught hundreds of people along their personal paths.

    My joy is seeing the spirit of other people grow as they experience drumming as something they know, but want more ways to express inner JOY.  

    Listening Skills are KEY to life, music and the enjoyment of music!  Your homework will consist of LIstening with Intent; learning beats, rudiments, and how to hold a groove - by LISTENING to the great drummers of the past and the present.  

    You are in charge of your learning process

    I began by being asked, "how do I play triplets?"  I can show you!  And I became a teacher - that was 4 decades ago and the path has revealed itself to me!

    professional corporate persons with difficult day jobs and loads of stress;  Blue Man Group try-outs; rock band drummers with musical goals; foreign nationals who want a fun drumming expereince while in the USA; first time drummers trying to find their way in the world; people on their path to music and the future of the world.  

    As a Rhythm Evngelist; I play with a lot of different people - Rhythm Revoltuion got hired to do a drum circle in downtown Chicago - we showed people they are already drummers!!

    Please sit, listening and play!!!  It worked - we got more than 400 people involved in 6 different drumming circles

    What are your goals for drumming? - fun, restoring calm, feeling connected, improved listening skills, technical skills, more beats, more groove, betteer fills, ways to think about practicing, how to cope with this life and keep the head above water.  What are YOUR GOALS?  this time is for you and your development; I am here to facilitate

    do they have a good comfortable place to learn?  Do they have drums that are fun to play?  is the teacher there for YOU or the paycheck?
