LESSONS
Offering private drums lessons both online and in the Houston area! He teaches all levels from beginners who are just picking up sticks for the first time through professionals who are trying to get ready for their next gig. While he specializes in jazz, he teaches most styles including blues, rock, pop, R&B, hip hop, funk, soul, and classical percussion. Through your favorite songs, we will cover topics like theory, technique, reading, rudiments, improvisation, and soloing so that you can be playing with ease.
​
What you should be playing can sometimes be ambiguous on the drums since there often isn't a written out part or chords for you to play which sound "correct". Therefore, he tries to be extremely clear about the function of every note. On the drums, you're either coasting, adding pressure, resolving a phrase, playing a melodic statement, or playing a color. Deciding on that function gives your playing intention and purpose at all times.

For online lessons, we would meet for 15-20 mins over Zoom to talk about what you would like to work on. Then, I'll send over pdf's and videos of a personalized lesson plan that's broken down step-by-step so you can learn it at your leisure. That way, we no longer have to go through the struggle of online lessons where mics aren't picking up the drums correctly or it can be tough to get everything in frame.
