The Musical Drummer Percussion School

My students are all ages, with all diferent backgrounds, musical interests and levels of expertise—literally from beginners to professionals. I teach each student according to their needs, drawing from my 20 years of experience playing and studying drums and percussion with masters from around the world.

About me: I have focused on drumset my entire life and currently play with Scott Pemberton Band and other acts in addition to teaching. I love to teach and play jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop, latin, reggae, electronic music and other styles, and I encourage my students to develop an appreciation and familiarity with the rhythms of a broad range of musical traditions to enrich their musical understanding and abilities.

In addition to drumset, I have spent time studying African and Brazillian percussion, as well as doumbek and classical concert percussion. I am also one of the world's few serious handpan players: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_Ji8XBLxnU.

I love helping musicians of all skill levels develop their voices and deepen their understanding and appreciation of music. I like to see them grow and learn new things, and oof course I learn a lot from my students as we explore music together.
