About
Greetings and thank you for checking out my profile.
I am a career professional drummer/musician with over 30 years experience drumming and 22 continuous years as a working touring and studio professional. I have Platinum and Gold records to my discography credits as well as SESAC song writing awards for industry recognized milestones in national radio AirPlay.
My passion is discovery and growth within music and the different ways in which that can be obtained. Passing what I’ve learned along to another individuals and witnessing discovery and growth happen for that student is both rewarding and exciting.

From beginners to advance skill level students, I have a personalized and crafted regimen that will address areas of strength as well as areas that need improvement to help move the needle on you as a player.

Aaron is an amazing teacher, he’s super patient and does a fantastic job of breaking things down for you to make sure you understand. He lets you take a short video lesson for reference when practicing at home and that’s been really helpful!
He also helped me find a drum kit, which was amazing because having no experience I wasn’t really sure what to get.
10 out 10 would recommend!

I wanted to learn to play just for fun and I feel like in the few lessons I've had I learned so much. He knows how to teach and challenge you enough that you improve after every session but it's still a fun relaxed environment.

Aaron is an awesome teacher. He really cares about me reaching my goal and becoming a better drummer. He knows everything there is to know about percussion, and music in general. He can literally play genre and teach any genre, so we I told him where I want to be and the songs I want to be able to play, he is able to give me exact exercises and step to achieve my goals. He takes his time, and goes at my pace, so if I was busy one week and couldn’t make it through all my material, he picks right up where I’m, yet still pushes me to go further. But if I’m ready to go hard, he’s right there with me. Aaron’s always available and, goes above and beyond to help me succeed. Couldn’t recommend more!
