Grant Menefee's Studio of Drumming

Please join my students, family ,friends and me April 28,2024 5:00 PM at the Keystone Korner in Baltimore. My former student McClenty Hunter will be performing with the Dave Stryker Band. Mac is from Columbia,Maryland and is really making noise in the Manhattan jazz scene. I think anyone would enjoy this award winning group. Tickets are available at the Keystone Korner website. 😊🥁

A really talented Asian American student told me that I looked like his history professor,Prof. Murphy. I said yea we all look alike. He burst out laughing and fist bumped me. My students are the best. 🙂🥁

I received a call from Dr JB Dyass (UCLA)in regard to my student Julian Frazier who was the first high school junior to participate in the Herbie Hancock Jazz scholarship program. We talked about the program and Julian’s talent.
The program is paying for his lessons and giving him world class playing experience. I asked JB if we needed to work on any specific areas. He said to just keep doing what you’re doing.
I’m so blessed and proud to teach such amazing talent over the years.
