At Machine Drum School, you will learn how to play the drums with feeling, emotion and style! Machine will have you playing drums in no time (but in time)! If you've never played before, expect to be slamming out a standard rock beat by the end of your first lesson. As lessons progress, you will learn how to play more complicated grooves, how to perform fills and how to read drum notation. Instruction on technique, rudiments, accents, timing, playing songs and ear training is all included. In addition, you will receive all the materials you need and learn how to set up and tune the drums. You will be provided with advice on the myriad of options out there for drumsets, sticks, cymbals and hardware. For the advanced player, I can help you reach your career goals in music and help guide your creative expression. Education and instruction on technique and how to break down complex passages will be provided, as well as coaching on feel, time and dynamics. My youngest student has been 2 years old and oldest in their 70's, so it's never too early or too late to start drumming! And since learning is a lifelong journey, if you've never played before or you've been playing for decades, come and see me--I think I can show you a thing or two. I haven't stopped learning myself and I seek lessons from other drummers all the time :)
