About this pro
Hello. My lessons are for beginning and intermediate students looking to improve their skills on snare drum or acoustic drum-set. Students will need to have acoustic drums to allow for practice between sessions. We will work on your skill-set relative to your level of experience. Each lesson will build on the next. In the end, I want my students to grow and feel confident with their drum-skills.
I love when a student has a breakthrough by reaching a new level of skill and associated confidence.

He’s very flexible and his price is insanely great. You get a lot more than you pay for with David, he goes above and beyond the lesson. Great experience, would recommend!!

I started drumming at age 12. First Junior High Band, then High School Band, Drum & Bugle Corp on the weekends, High School Marching Band, High School Jazz Band, Garage Bands, and rock bands that played gigs. Then College Band, College Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, and drumming three nights a week for a band that performed Rock and Country. Minor in Music at college with emphasis in percussion.
