Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Drumming is a great way to relieve stress and get lots of excercise !!!!!!! Haha!!!! The more serious the drummer, the more rewarding the experience of learning how to play a drumset really is!!!!!

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Well first of all, i would like to start by saying that anybody who enjoys the artistic and creative side of life can achieve they're greatest dreams by hardwork, persistance and most of all.. believing in themselves. And if you have ever dreamed of being a great drummer, I sincerely want to help incourage that by sharing with you what i have learned from 20 years of hands on experience playing a real, full piece drumset, live, in the studio, and practiced. Playing drums is what i love to do!! and i enjoy sharing and teaching the techniques ive learned with others!!!

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. Its really awesome and rewarding to watch a person new or experienced, young or older, to learn 1.... 2......... then 3 different drum beats and patterns that they will have for the rest of time and that they can pull out anytime in a musical situation and totally have the confidence to play it live with other musicians !!!!

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. Hardwork and hours upon hours of practice.

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. I am teaching a young drummer named Ethan, who is 12 years old and didnt know a thing about the drums or even how to play a correct drumbeat to save his life when i met him!!! Haha...However, Ethan really explained to me how much and how serious he was about learning how to play the drumset professionally, so we worked hard together for a couple months once a week for an hour a day on the kit he had, and now he can play 4 completely different drum beats!!! with 4 completely different tempos and to see him smile after all that hard work is a great feeling for the both of us!!!!!! Also my local Metal/ Rock band that i helped create in 2008 has had 3 new songs played live on 98 rock 4 sundays in a row!!!!! its an undescribably awesome and rewarding feeling to be able to hear yourself on the radio after all the hardwork put in the studio!!!!!

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. Lots of practice, live experience, studio time and true passion for the instrument will always help the serious drummer. Above all, maturity, discipline, patience and the ability to LISTEN to what other musicans have created or are playing is the key to being a respectable and great drummer.
