About
My journey has been fun and exciting. I was born in Peru, studied in Spain, played with bands around Europe and then moved to USA where I graduated from Berklee College of Music (Summa Cum Laude) as an scholarship student. Now in NYC, I've been working as a drummer and teacher since 2012. Still, my teaching experience comes from way back (when I was still in Peru) getting my first private students and subbing for my teachers at my music school. Teaching drums has always been an integral part of my musical life and all of that knowledge throughout those years is what I offer. I feel patience, flexibility and communication are really important to have a good student/teacher relationship. It doesn't matter your level or age, I'm sure I'll be helpful in your journey as a drummer. Just hit me up! I offer a trial lesson for a discounted rate! It's hard to not have fun when playing drums!!! Still, I think that most fulfilling part is to see the students' growth throughout the lessons, especially when they get to finally express themselves behind a drum kit.

David was super responsive for us to book our trial lesson, we did it the day after we got in touch, and it was so good! It just changed my day for the better and I immediately decided to continue taking lessons with him. He is an amazing drummer and teacher, I feel he tailors the class for what I want to do but keeps me in line to develop skills that I lack in order to progress. David has prepared a study material for every topic and skill level, which keeps me motivated to do my homework in addition to working on a song. If you check his Instagram, he posts so many licks and exercises - it is such a valuable resource too. From that you can tell how David is not only a wonderful drummer but also person, willing to share his knowledge with everyone. I couldn't recommend him more!

Details: 26 - 44 years old • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Can read percussion notation • Can read sheet music • Understands note durations and rests • Traditional drum kit • Rock • Yes, the student already has drums • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I would recommend you to have drum lessons with David. I came for my first lesson being a complete beginner, and now after several classes I already can play a song! Also, it is important for me that David can answer my questions about drums and explain many thing I am curious about, which helps not only to play, but also to know the world of drums better.

Details: 26 - 44 years old • No formal training • Can read sheet music • Understands note durations and rests • Traditional drum kit • Blues • Rock • Jazz • No, but the student is planning to purchase drums and would like the teacher's advice on it • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location

I was only able to attend one session with David because of my own time constraints, but he was great! He was able to assess my skill level and plan the lesson accordingly, and was super nice while doing it! He was also obviously a very talented drummer and teacher. I'd highly recommend.

I love taking my drum lessons with David! He’s passionate, fun, and very welcoming! I usually can’t stick to one instrument for more than a couple months but David really sparks my enthusiasm in learning drums.
