About Me
Experienced drummer and dedicated instructor
Hi I’m David, and I’m passionate about percussion! I convinced my parents to let me take drums lessons at 8 years old and have kept it going ever since.
I believe in a relaxed learning environment and keeping frustrations low, even with fundamental rudiments! If you can keep drums fun, it can be a lifelong joy.
Styles I enjoy playing: Rock, metal, jazz, fusion, funk, pop, blues and country, hip-hop, etc etc
