The Drum Lab is based on the concept of a “jazz lab,” a respectful, synergistic teaching environment that is all about making music and pursuing skill.

Frequently asked questions
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I trained with Dan Bukvich at the Lionel Hampton School of Music. After a rigorous 12-year professional performance schedule, I travel less and teach more, combining my passions for music and teaching. My communications degree and work as a special needs therapist have informed my teaching style, customized learning for each student.
I’ve travelled around the Northwest performing classic rock, top 40’s, 80’s glam rock, pop, country, big band, and combo jazz. I’ve enjoyed playing casinos, fairs, fundraisers, wineries, weddings, corporate gigs, community events, and quirky bars like Greenlake’s Little Red Hen. I also collaborate on original fusion compositions.
What types of students have you worked with?
I teach adults, children and teens. My youngest student is currently five and my oldest are in their mid-sixties, but it's never too late to take up a fulfilling hobby. One of my high-school-age students recently got accepted into an advanced jazz ensemble for the coming year, though of course, I'm not sure what the district will end up doing this fall.
