I help drummers who are frustrated, stuck, and distracted to become laser focused, goal oriented, and successful.
Not sure what to practice? Have you bought a TON of drum books but none of them have given you the results you need? My goal for you is to keep you accountable and focused in your drumming.
Whether you're getting ready for a college audition/placement audition or wanting to improve your hand technique or learn how to get paid in the music business, I'm your guy. I've helped thousands of students over the past 30+ years and I know how to get you results.
You can study with me online through courses and seminars or private lessons or you can come to our studio in Colorado.

Need Help With Your Upcoming Audition?
After administering hundreds of auditions, I kept seeing students with similar problems. No one was adequately preparing them for auditions. A lot of them were expected to do it all on their own or their teacher didn't have the insight to know what to help them with. I developed this course to help drummers know what to expect in an audition and to adequately prepare.
