My Experience
With a degree from Berklee College of Music and private lessons from some of the world’s best drummers, I’ve been a professional drummer since 1998. I’ve had the honor of recording hundreds of songs and working with top artists like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, and more.

I’m endorsed by leading drum brands like A&F Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Remo Heads, Vic Firth Sticks, and several more.
Lessons Tailored for All Levels
I teach students of all ages (6+) and abilities — whether you’re an absolute beginner, a touring professional, or anywhere in between. My current roster includes around 25 students weekly, including some well-known names.
Teaching Style & Resources
After over 20 years of teaching, I’ve learned that the key to success is providing relevant, effective material in a comfortable, patient environment. I’ve written five widely-available drum method books to support my students:
• Drumset Coordination (Hal Leonard)
• Drumset Overlay (self-published)
• Linear Drum Fills (Alfred Music)
• Drumset Supersets (Alfred Music)
• Groove Fundamentals (Hudson Music)
Lesson Locations
1. In-Person: Learn in my state-of-the-art studio in Van Nuys, CA. Enjoy professional-grade equipment, recording options, and refreshments—all in a relaxed, world-class learning space.
2. Online: Take lessons via FaceTime from anywhere in the world. All you need is a drum set, a good internet connection, and a view of your drums.
Styles & Skills I Teach
I cover a wide range of styles including pop, rock, jazz, Latin, and more. You’ll learn essential drumming techniques like stick control, footwork, coordination, music theory, studio skills, and much more. Every lesson plan is customized to fit your interests and goals, making each session fun and engaging.
Ready to Get Started?
I’m happy to answer any questions and provide more details. You can also visit my website for my videos, and more student reviews. I’m passionate about teaching, but my busy recording schedule means I can only accept a limited number of motivated students. If you’re ready to take your drumming to the next level, let’s connect!
