Learn how to play drums from a drummer with more than 30 years’ experience.

Lessons take place in my studio located in Eddyville, NY (about 4 miles south of Kingston and north of Rosendale). I accept students of all levels. Whether you’re looking to play drums for fun, want to clean it up for your band or refine your skills – all are welcome!

Stuff You’ll Learn Learn:

• Your favorite songs using charts and/or ear training


• Reading rhythm


• Chop building exercises for drum set including double kick


• Play musically in odd and compound time signatures.


• And more…

Over 30 years of experience with a variety of drumming styles including hard core, rock, funk, and world fusion. Odd timing signatures are a passion of mine – you’ll learn more than just standard rock beats.

Two fully assembled drum kits - get behind the kit on day one!

A hands on teaching experience – I work with each individual student’s strengths and learning style. Drumming should be fun! Learn drums at your own pace by playing the songs you love.
