Samuel, no prior experience. Only six 30min classes with me and is a prime example of how quick pace my custom method and curriculum is.

Applying the traditional snare rudiment “ Paradiddle “ in three different context using the full drum set.

Oh yeah, he’s reading the notes for them as well! First time applying them to a band.

Online or masked in person lessons with openings at any of my five studios:

Bolingbrook
Villa Park
Westmont
Deerfield
Naperville

Tell your friends, $10 trial 30min private class with me personally or online live w/ professional video on dvd or emailed of everything we cover.

Oh yeah, if they actually sign up for a month of lessons and you rendered them to me, I’ll give you a $25 amazon gift card!

Not kidding
