About
What's your self-expression? What results are you looking to achieve from drumming? Do you have a favorite song, groove, or chop you'd like to learn but just don't know how to explain it or break it down? My name is Greg Washington, and I am offering private drum lessons for beginners and intermediate-level students of all ages. In my lessons, you will learn to implement new ideas, with a tailored approach, enhancing your overall learning experience. From inception to implementation, your creativity will be developed into a living, breathing, expression, ready to be applied in any musical situation. Learn things like reading music, popular drum grooves, fundamental coordination skills, proper hand and foot technique, counting, playing with a metronome, and more. In addition to learning these things, you will get to apply these concepts and perform them with songs in various styles of music. This is where the magic happens. I am committed that you find and develop your own authentic self-expression. For your convenience, an additional set of drums will be provided for you to play. Satisfaction is guaranteed! Just bring your sticks!

My first session with Greg was the 1st time I'd ever held a set of drum sticks. Several weeks later Greg encouraged me to enter the Hit Like a Girl Contest. Greg helped me learn the song I wanted to play and he filmed the session that I submitted to the contest. Greg works with my ever changing schedule, provides honest feedback, and goes the extra mile for his students. I'm happy to have found Greg and even happier to be developing my chops under his skilled ears.

I was kind of worried of being with a person who is an expert in the instrument i want to play, and maybe get not excited about training a guy who need to start from 0. But i was wrong and appreciate Greg's confidence that I can do it. Now I feel more motivated. We talked through a lot of topics: about the technique in Drum Play, Instruments, recommendations, tempos, etc.. So I´m happy to continue my development with him. Thanks!

Greg is a fantastic drum teacher with tons of experience. He is very patient and willing to work with you. He definitely values quality and wants to make sure you sound great, meaning he isn't in it for you just to play fast, but to play well. He started me off going over some of the basic rudiments, and then we worked on a few songs. We eventually worked up to a song that I set my sights on playing. His schedule is very flexible and has even helped outside of class when I had quick questions. If you are looking to get started or a long-time drummer I highly recommend.

    I helped a couple of students by filming and editing videos for them for the Hit Like A Girl drumming competition for female drummers. This was a joy for me because it allowed them an opportunity to present themselves on a worldwide platform.

    My advice for any new student is to have an awareness of the level of commitment it will take to achieve your desired level of excellence.
