About

My biggest kick teaching drums is watching my students develop abilities and progress in drumming. I always try different ways of helping my students discover how much FUN it is to play drums!

The most important thing to me besides getting my students up and running is to make sure we have a whole lot of fun while we learn! My lessons are informative but I tailor them to what the student wants to accomplish. And, there's lots of laughs along the way.
