Drum Lessons in Fullerton, CA

Instruments: Guitar Drums

Evan Michael H. brings over 30 years of drumming experience to teaching you or your child the percussion fundamentals, from simple rolls and rhythms to more advanced techniques.

It was, but it was even more fun for me because I was already well comfortable with what they were teaching, so the teacher would use me as an aide to assist the other students with what they were learning. Throughout high school and college I taught the basics to cousins, girlfriends, and buddies on guitar, drums, and even ukulele (which I learned on the fly, but my understanding and past experience with music made it an easy task).
