Get off the page and onto the stage.

I'm a percussion instructor offering private drum lessons in the Cleveland, OH area.


Unlike most other drum teachers I know, I am a working drummer, bringing nearly 25 years of real-world experience. I try keep lesson material practical and sessions fun. I teach my drum students to be relevant, well-rounded musicians who play well with others, not just technically-proficient soloists.


Your style. Your pace.

your style, your pace.

Learn to Rock or try Funk or Classical. Learn your favorite songs, how to read music, and how to practice and rehease efficiently. Hone your Marching Band and Pipe Band chops or perfect the Moeller Technique.


In my 10 years teaching experience, I've taught thousands of private drum lessons (all levels, ages 5 to 65+), group drum workshops, high school and college drumlines, bagpipe bands, and a drum clinic for the Percussive Arts Society.


The details.

I currently teach private drum lessons at Fairmount School of Music (Cleveland Heights, Ohio), Summit Music Studios (Northfield, Ohio) and I am often called as a substitute drum teacher at many of Northeast Ohio's most prominent music lesson studios (like The Aurora School of Music).


In addition to private drum lessons, I also teach drum workshops, drum clinics and provide band and drumline instruction at all levels (check out the St. Edward High School "Trash Talkers").
