Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Drums

My teaching style is rooted in the philosophy that if you keep explanations simple then understanding is easy. Playing drums is not easy but it is not complicated either. I find that it is important to work on making a sound from the instrument as soon as possible, thats why often times the first drumset lesson will include learning a beat on the drumset. Anyone has the potential to be able to play, and anyone can reap the benefits from practicing a new skill. Read More

I began teaching at the age of 19 and within one year ended up teaching over 70 drummers weekly at four different locations in which I managed 2 of them. I then went on to open my own studio in 2007 to great success. Recently, desiring more musical adventures, I've decided to relocate to Las Vegas in search of more music opportunities in The Music Business. I have taught thousands of drummers and guitar players over the year and am looking forward to teaching thousands more! Read More

Hello to all yet again, Well, in this section I will share my teaching methods. I grew up taking formal lessons from adults who did not "candy coat" anything. Times were different and there was no "political correctness" or "everyone got a trophy just for participating " ideology. Things were strict. You had to "make the grade". For me it was what was needed to be able to reach where I did as explained in the 2 previous sections. Read More

I love teaching and seeing students progress in their skill. No student is like the next and I do my best to create an atmosphere for each student to get the most out of their time with me. I also make sure the understand how they should be practicing and the effective ways to practice. It is not as simple as saying, "Practice double strokes this week". The student needs to understand why they are learning the rudiment, tendencies of poor technique and how to monitor progress. Read More
