Drum Lessons - Beginner / Intermediate

About

So you want to be a drummer?

Want to learn bunch of drum beats? Impress your friends with beats to your favorite songs?
...I'll have you playing a beat in minutes,

Are you always tapping or beating on things and think you have good rythm? It's time you took it to the drum kit to see what your beats sound like on a drum set, if you really have talent, or see if you just want a cool hobbie that's really fun. The drum player in a band is often reveered as the coolest the one with the most energy, and most fit of all the members. Maybe you just have a song on the radio you like and want to learn the beat to it.

No experience necessary, no equipment necessary. Can do in my home or yours. Flexible schedule.
$40 intorductory hour

I offer an introduction to the traditional drum kit used in rock bands, country bands, punk, ska, jazz, dance, etc. I have played for about 40 years, (since about 8 years old), in many different bands, and sat in with some really great ones on occasion. I have unique and clever approaches to learning beats, so if you don't feel coordinated at all, I gauratee that I can teach you a beat your first lesson. If you are more advanced the complexity of the beats taught will increase. I gaurantee that I can introduce you to beats that will challenge your ability no matter what your experience.
