Introduction: Hello, My name is Danny Piselli. I'm a Philadelphia area drummer, teacher, and music engineer. I began learning the drums over 20 years ago, and have spent the last 12 years sharing that knowledge with countless students. I’ve taught students from ages 7 - 50 +, all with various skill sets and goals. Much of my playing experience has come from touring and preforming with multiple rock and metal bands. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to travel the world preforming music, and I’m eager to see and learn more! I'm looking for students who want to learn virtually over zoom. I'm accepting all skill levels and ages. My lessons are designed to not only develop students as drummers, but as musicians. Being able to learn the fundamentals, rudiments, and theory of drumming, while connecting that knowledge with everyday music that YOU enjoy. Whatever your goals are for learning an instrument, its never too late to start!

Danny is always flexible. He will work with me to squeeze in extra lessons. Danny will show me new techniques and will teach me new songs note for note. He'll even let me record videos to rake home. Danny is professional and always patient when teaching me new things I find challenging at first!

I was Danny’s student for 9 years, he’s an incredible drummer and amazing teacher who has knowledge and skills of almost every different genre and style you may want to learn. No matter your skill level, he’ll be able to provide you with an extensive amount of lessons and teachings that’ll help you grow as a musician in every way. Can’t say enough good things about him!

Danny is very patient and accommodates to every student's preferred method of learning. He allowed me to move from learning my instrument to learning how to be a musician. Creates a learning space where there is no teacher student hierarchy and allows the lesson to flow and breath naturally, promoting quality lessons easily comprehendible for every student. Danny cares and doesn't overlook any student. He carefully creates his lessons plans based on the student's skill level and challenges them when needed. Drums aside Danny helps promote confidence, listening skills and a greater overall knowledge of music as a whole.

I took drum lessons with Danny for around 5 - 6 years... I had a total blast taking lessons with Danny. He was able to consistently show me new things while knowing how to have fun. As a drummer, I felt like I was always moving upwards, always learning something new, and always improving. We would study a rich blend of styles, ranging from Latin to rock n' roll to metal, to name a few. Danny was always an encouraging and supportive presence in our lessons, never putting me down but always pushing me to do better. I can't recommend lessons with him enough!

I took in person drum lessons with Danny for about 5 year and he inspired me to go into music as a career. He made me feel that music is a world of possibilities and now I attend a music school (University of the Arts in Center City Philly) and he has backed me up the entire way. I plan to do online lessons with him again and I urge other people to do so too. If you want to learn or if you want to improve, Danny is the go too. He is easily the most versatile drummer I have ever met from double kick pedal metal to jazz and shuffles. He has turned me from a die hard bassist to a master of the rhythm section. I went from a kid with absolutely no hand eye coordination to a professional Philly based gigging musician. I couldn't say enough about Danny.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer hour long lessons for $50 or forty-five minute lessons for $40 I suggest 45 minute lessons to start, but I'm open to having the student decide. For younger students, 30 minute lessons can be accommodated.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With any new student, my learning what my students goals and ambitions are. Many times however, a person might be completely new to the drums, and therefor I will start them with the basics of rhythm, coordination, and sight reading.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was lucky enough to find my passion in drums and teaching at an early age. I've been teaching professionally since I was 18, and I haven't looked back since. Along the way, I've had the privilege of studying with many great teachers, all who have given me something unique to pass on to my students.
