Instruction tailored for the individual with a focus on producing well-rounded musicians/ drummers. While core principals and concepts (lesson formats) remain consistent for ALL students. Students who remain under my guidance long enough learn:

• Learn and master all rudiments (master is significantly different than “know”) Free-Stroke - Full, Half, & Control Strokes
• Improve &/ or Read Music
• Interpret Charts
• Develop a “time-center” with and without a click
• Explore Concert Snare Literature
• "Groove Development" - all forms of back-beat grooves
• "Stylistic Development" - learn ethnic and world grooves from around the globe

• Soloing/ Improvisation (beyond the simple clichés)
