Hey folks!

I'm Nick, a touring and recording drummer from Oakland who has played and still plays all around the world. Drumming is my favorite thing to do. Please check out my super extensive music resume at my website.

I teach drums privately in my Oakland studio, at some of my students' homes, at the School Of Rock at both of their Bay Area locations in San Francisco and San Mateo (these kids are amazing!), and I teach as a substitute at the Academy of Language and Music Arts in Orinda, CA, and exploring music in San Jose.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all music teaching. With that in mind, I tailor my lessons to each individual student's needs and interests. We start with the kind of music that you love most, and we slowly work outward from there, expanding the concepts.

I've played and taught Jazz (everything from swing to seriously advanced Elvin Jones and Tony Williams jazz drumming), hip-hop, R&B, indie rock, metal (blast beats and double bass), Afro-Beat (Gnawa rhythms, etc.), Southern Indian music, experimental and improvise playing, etc.

We'll work on whatever you really want to do! Want to just learn the basics? Okay!

Want to learn to play for fun in a garage band? Great!

Want to be the next drummer for Slayer? Awesome!

Want to learn drums so you can produce better hip-hop beats on your MPC? Let's do it!
