About

Hello, My drum instruction style is electric ! I have many resources at hand to make your lessons fun and effective. I offer half hour and hour sessions at my home studio and also at Drums Etc teaching studios in Neffsville, Pa. My studio setting is clean, bright, with professional gear and includes convenient parking. I feature my private students each year by having them play live at a local venue with my band! We call it “Drummers Lunch Jam” this is just one of the creative ways that I set myself apart from the rest. I perform quite regularly with two great bands. “3 Hour Tour” (yacht rock) and “Crackerboxx” (classic pop rock)

    Frequently asked questions

    The first step is to explain the the drumming  learning process, find out together what skills you may already have, find out your goals and design a clear path to drumming success ! 

    I have enjoyed a long professionally drumming career in Pa for over 40 years. I have above average experience playing  popular music genres with  live bands. Performing concerts, clubs and managing a drummers learning center in Lancaster. I have featured drum clinics, rock camp, student recitals and promoted drum learning in Lancaster for many years. I believe that learning a variety of musical   styles along with traditional skill sets is key to great drumming. The desire to practice these elements will determine your success. 

    $35.00 1/2 hour time slot each week or $70.00 full hour time slot (twice a month)
    I created and managed a top rated drumming school in Lancaster. Including drum seminar features from many world class drummers, created and taught ROCK camps, ROCK SCHOOL clubs and inspired many local drum teachers careers.
    I work with young students beginning at least 7 years old. I also teach teenagers and retired adults. Both men and woman.
    I love music festivals, theater, concerts of any kind. I you tube world class drummers regularly and I continue to learn and hope to keep learning for the rest of my life.
    Try to make sure they have great communication skills. Are able to convey their ideas to you the way YOU like.
    Why do you want to play drums and what is your first goal?
