- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For beginners, I start off by teaching the proper technique needed to achieve basic expression on the drum set. For more advanced players, I will help you explore tonal and sonic capabilities beyond what you may have achieved already. Most songs can be played along to at various levels from beginner to advanced. As a result, I have all students, regardless of ability, apply their skills to playing along with songs as soon as possible. This keeps the study fun and productive.
