Introduction: Dan Traglia is a drummer, session musician, and private instructor based out of the New York City and North Jersey area. He maintains a steady roster of both online and in-person drum students from his studio–The DT Drum Studio–located in Morris County, NJ.
At the DT Drum Studio, I like to place a strong emphasis on the development of fundamentals and good practice habits to achieve the highest level of proficiency and creativity on the drums. This simple philosophy has allowed my students to maximize their potential in whatever musical path they choose to follow. As a certified member of the Sabian Educators Network, a program comprised of the drumming industry’s top drummers and educators, I feel that everyone has the potential to learn and enjoy the countless benefits of playing the drums regardless of age, experience or limitation.
Lesson subjects may include (but are certainly not limited to) a wide variety of styles and subjects including reading, technique, improvisation, part-writing, rudimental drumming, chart reading or simply breaking down the drum parts from your favorite songs and drummers. With the understanding that everybody learns differently, I have adapted a proven curriculum that is customized to fit the needs and preferences of each particular student while utilizing the most up to date methods and technology.
Whether you're auditioning for your school drumline or jazz band, preparing for a college audition, a weekend warrior looking to sharpen your skills, or just looking for a new creative outlet to foster your love of music and have fun, the DT Drum Studio is the place for you!
