Lessons
Are you interested in learning to play drums? I have spent over 10 years teaching drums throughout the high schools and colleges of 6 different countries including the USA, Philippines and Canada. This website serves to offer an easy to understand approach to drum/percussion theory with focuses on sight reading, stick drum and mallet technique, stick control and an introduction to literature for various instruments.
In the future I will be adding sections for keyboard instruments: marimba, vibraphone and xylophone as well as congas & bongos. If you have any percussion instrument that you'd like to see explained or even specific questions about certain instruments, styles, etc...feel free to send a message on the contact page. Try to explain in detail what it is you want to know as best you can so I can elaborate. Thanks for stopping by and happy drumming everyone!

Website revival
After nearly a decade offline, I have returned. Some company bought my domain when I forgot to renew it and held it hostage for $3000+ for many years and then sold it to some other company and eventually it ended up for sale at the regular price again and I snatched it up immediately. So glad to be back. Stay tuned for much music!
