Introduction
With over 15 years of experience playing drums and a strong passion for teaching, I am excited for the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills with aspiring drummers. Since starting my journey at the age of 14, I have performed original music and honed my craft in various bands, currently playing professionally with Castele and Long/Last, as well as participating in several studio projects. My diverse experience in both live performance and studio recording has equipped me with a well-rounded perspective on music and rhythm. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to learn from great teachers and some of my favorite musicians, including JP Bouvet, Joseph Arrington, Matt Garstka, Adam Tuminaro, Justin Scott, Mike Johnson, and many others. Their methods have greatly influenced my teaching philosophy, which emphasizes improvisational freedom and the expansion of rhythmic vocabulary. I believe that each student has unique needs and learning styles, and I strive to tailor my approach to ensure that everyone feels empowered and inspired to grow as musicians. I can teach all levels from beginners to advanced students. Covering topics such as learning the fundamentals, developing an effective practice routine, approaches to improvisation, exercises for creativity, learning songs, composition, recording techniques, and more! Lessons are offered in studio, at home in Colorado Springs, and online. I look forward to working with anyone interested in exploring creativity and building confidence in their drumming abilities. Feel free to reach out to me for more details.

My experience so far had been amazing with Tristin! Not only did he respond quickly & was punctual, more importantly he's shown to be a great teacher. He's patient, kind & thorough. He makes learning fun & expresses/teaches the importance of learning the basics that can make or break your playing as you progress. I look forward to our lessons continuing!

Tristin covered a lot of ground in a very short time and gave me lots of valuable advice to be more creative around the drums.

I have been a self taught drummer for years and hit a skill ceiling. With Tristin's teaching, I've been able to elevate my skills in such a short time. He is very knowledgeable and proficient at what he does. He's also always down to help out whenever you have any questions. He creates great weekly routines to follow that really help hone in on your skills. If you're looking to learn drums and become great at it, I'd highly recommend Tristin to be the guy to help you out!
