I'm looking to share some of the knowledge I have learned (and earned!!) in that time with anyone willing to learn.  I have a very student centred approach to teaching the drums.  I will teach you what you want to know.

 

I'm currently gigging and recording with The Bon Scotts, but before that I've done everything from three years on cruise ships playing jazz to rock, funk and pop stuff back home in my native Canada.

 

My rates are rather reasonable, $30/half hour and $50 for a full hour and I will come to you!  Or we can make some noise here at my place if you prefer.  I'm currently taking bookings for mid-week lessons (monday through wednesday) to fill time between weekend gigs.  Arrangements can be made for weekend lessons as well, provided they are during the day.

Here's a quick tip to get you started, any instructional books by John Reilly will change your playing forever, and literally anything by Jojo Mayer will change your opinion of what is physically possible on the drumset.

Wanna learn how to hit stuff like me?

Here are some books and videos that I have fallen in love with and subsequently stressed over & pulled out hair in frustration because of,

but in a good way.
