Introduction: I've got over 25 years experience teaching private drum lessons to people of all ages. As a result, I've written 3 books and have hundreds of worksheets that deal with virtually every aspect of drumset playing. Regardless of what style you want to learn, or what level you're at - I've got it covered! I love the look on someone's face when I've just showed them something that they really wanted to learn.

I started lessons with Jim in September of 2010, I have been with him ever since. Jim has this gifted ability to listen to a groove and chart it out for you on the spot. His technical ability is outstanding and he is very willing to take the time and show you what he is doing. I have studied with some of Buffalo's greats, Louie Marino, John Roland, Jack Jackino and others. Jim will take the time to move your ability forward without pushing you to fast. If you don't understand something he will make sure you do. It's a very relaxed setting in his home with a great drum kit to play on. Jim will show you many fills and groves used by some of the greatest drummers today, Steve Gadd, Stanton Moore, Dave Weckl, Carter Beauford. He has the tools to teach you any style of playing, from rock, blues, soul, pop and of coarse all the rudiments you can possibly absorb! Stop putting lessons off if you really want your time line to go forward, Jim will make it fun and make it happen for sure. Doug Field
