Introduction: Drumming is just about all I do! I hold a BFA in multi-focus percussion from California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts) and have studied drums and percussion from all four corners of the world as well as performed in over 22 professional bands in the last 20 years! My studio is well equipped with two real drum sets, a mixer, and dual headphones that allow me to teach songs, structure, and technique with real recorded examples that give my students the feeling of a live performance during select lessons. My 13 years in the field have given me the knowledge and resources to give my students a competitive edge while learning the fundamentals and beyond of the greatest instrument of all -- the drums! I have personally taught over 100 students in my lifetime as a teacher and have shared the stage with world-class artists such as 30 Seconds to Mars, Shaggy, Skerik, The Pharcyde, Sugar Ray, The Motet, and Barrington Levy, just to name a few. Musically speaking, there are few stones left unturned in my career as a drummer and performer which gives me a very diverse and eclectic background to pull from, both as a private drum instructor and as a regular gigging musician. At this point, it's pretty much the air I breath both from the perspective of teaching for a living and as a lover of all things percussive. If there are any areas of the drum set, modern or vintage, basic or complex that you are interested in, chances are I have the background and expertise you've been looking for. I've offered a discounted first lesson for every new student that has considered studying with me for over a decade now and would love to meet you in person to see how we can get your playing and passion for the drums to the next level! My studio is top-notch,and located conveniently on South Broadway in Denver. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to working with you soon!

Right away, there's a connection with Mike. His passion for music is obvious and his skill set is exceptional. I've played other instruments and been around plenty of professionals but have never been around someone as professional and skilled as Mike. At first, there is a lot talking on Mike's end but it's strictly educational in order to create a vision of what it means to play the drums. I've learned so much already and I'm always looking forward to learning more. If you need to pick a drum teacher, this is your guy.

I have had a some other drum teachers and Mike is by far the best teacher I've had. He does an excellent job of building the lessons around the direction I need to improve upon and he integrates new concepts into our lessons very well. He has helped me think like a drummer, something that has been very eye opening for me. Also his analogies are on point.
