Introduction: Hey drummers! I love music, and the only thing I love better is sharing the art of making music with you! Drums are the backbone of music and rhythm is essential to synchronizing all the emotions we express through music. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the University of Oregon and graduated with honers, I love sharing sharing my knowledge. Let's embark on a journey together to explore how playing music becomes exponentially more fun the better you get! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am currently only offering lessons to students who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I am fully vaccinated and ask that we conduct lessons while wearing masks

I hadn't had a music lesson in about 35 years, so I wasn't sure what I was getting into. I had bought a drum set for kicks and was screwing around a bit but hadn't really focused on much of anything and was pretty much treading water. Incremental improvement but nothing to write home about. I've found that Adam is ready to meet you at your level and he has got me working on some basics (a reminder of just how sloppy my playing was/is) and I (think) I'm improving pretty rapidly and am starting to recognize things I hadn't noticed before. If there's an issue, it has been my erratic practice schedule. He has also been really flexible with respect to schedule, lesson length etc. - important for someone like myself who is works and has kids with their own busy schedules.

I'm completely new to the drums and decided to do a trial lesson with Adam several months ago. It was so worth it, and after I signed up for weekly lessons, I always looked forward to them. The lessons are fun and informative, and I have improved so much since I started lessons with Adam. He does a great job of establishing the best drumming habits based on your musical goals, and building off of basics so that you can be a well-rounded drummer. He is a great teacher, combining his expertise with what you as a student want to learn so that it's fun and interesting. Highly recommended for both beginners and drummers with experience looking to improve!

I've taken about six or seven lessons with Adam now, and I was amazed at how significantly my drumming improved. He really showed me the potential I had, and taught me how to utilize that. Adam explained all of the things we covered very well; I never once felt lost or confused in a lesson. I would recommend taking lessons from Adam regardless if you've been drumming for two days or two years. There's always more to learn, and Adam is an excellent teacher!

I found Adam looking for a drum teacher online. I needed someone to help me take my beginner drummer skills to the next level and Adam did exactly that, after just a few classes I was learning so much. He definitely knows how to adapt to my needs, skills and most important, to my limitations. After a few lessons I was playing some of my favorite ACDC songs and having fun while also working on the things I was doing wrong that Adam started pointing out from the first day. I recommend Adam for those who want to learn to play drums.

Adam really knows his stuff. I wanted to focus on certain areas and he was fine with that and did not push me to do other things I was not interested in. Had positive results with his help.

    If you are serious about becoming a better musician, I offer a subscription plan where you get a 10% discount if you pay for and schedule a month of lessons at a time. Regular lessons are the best way to improve your skills! Ask about my subscription plan!

    Typically, for new students, I spend a few minutes to get to know you. I love to know what you like about drums, why you want to learn, and what some of your favorite music is. I also ask about your goals. Then, as the lessons progress, I provide you with a customized learning plan that is tailored to improve the drumming abilities you are interested in, no matter your current skill level. I recommend a specific path that is the easiest and most efficient way to achieve a goal, and always provide a logical sequence of events to make playing drum set simple, and fun.

    I have a Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Studies from the University of Oregon and graduated cum laude. I was awarded the Most Outstanding Musician award upon graduation.
