Frost Drum Lessons
About
I've been playing drums for a living full time, either teaching, performing, or recording for 5 years now, and I've been studying the instrument for 15 years. Drums have been an integral part of my life. I'm happy to share my experience and knowledge of the instrument with any student at any skill level, age, and style to help better them in the direction they want to go in with the instrument, whether playing professionally or just as a hobbie. I guarantee lessons tailored to your needs. I've toured with acts locally; regionally, nationally and internationally. I studied music all through out high school and college focusing mainly on jazz, classical, funk, and fusion. Since playing professionally, I've branched out to all styles of music, and currently make most of my living playing R & B, country, folk, and pop.

I love that I get to connect with so many different people through the various music groups I perform with, and the various students I teach. I am very grateful that I get to share and experience so many branches of the art form!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Different for different age groups. I will generally probe to find out what got you interested, what music inspires you to play, and who your favorite artists are, then tailor the lesson plans toward making you the type of drummer you want to be. In the process we will cover all the basics and fundamentals you need to play how you want to play. With younger beginners we usually start with being able to identify each drum, and play back what you hear. We incorporate counts and basic techniques with call and response rhythms just to get you playing! Eventually (usually within the 2nd lesson as younger player) you'll play your first full groove!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied percussion/music/drums both private and institutional all through high school, trade school, and college. And I went to schools with excellent music programs! I've also been touring and performing music full time for the better part of 5 years now!
