People learn in so many different ways. I for one learn more efficiently in a practical, hands-on approach and enjoy learning from the mistakes. Paying close attention to HOW you learn before WHAT you learn is how many of my students (and myself) have excelled with the least amount of stress and maximum enjoyment.

As a BEGINNER STUDENT, the first protocol is to get to know one another (the same applies to other standards). Feeling comfortable will create a safer space to make mistakes that will inevitably be made. We will also look at running through the motions of basic technique, rhythms, and how to practise efficiently.

INTERMEDIATE - Aside from the very important introductions of one another, we will get stuck in with addressing the elephant in the room - how to be a BETTER drummer. What is it that makes a professional sound the way they do? How can I be more fluent on the drums? How can I get more work? You may have questions like these, and the good news is- they're all the right questions! Together, we will address these and transform your current standard of playing.

ADVANCED - You got chops. You're solid. You have work. My experience in the industry has allowed me to hone in on the common areas of development from advanced players tend to be to expand your phrasings, learn new techniques that make your playing easier, discovering your direction within the industry, kit sound, production etc.

Looking forward to meeting you ????
