About

I'm a pro drummer with years of experience. I've played on the biggest stages across the country. Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Lollapalooza. I've even played internationally. My program is designed to get you GIGS! I teach aspects of drumming that matter most like Groove, Pocket, timing, feel, Improvisation. I DO also teach children, and am currently a teaching artist for Kindergarten-4th grade. ALL EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED! Just bring your sticks and a notepad! Let's Rock!

    The right guy for the job, very clear and confident. I liked his basics about drumming and how he gives you you the thirsty to learn more about drumming from him.

    I absolutely recommend Shak as a drumming coach. He is extremely friendly and personable. I have played drums in the past but overtime had forgotten certain things and wanted to brush up on them. He was able to pinpoint what I needed to work on and as well as what my strengths were. Overall a great lesson and would definitely book another in the very near future.
