About
Hi I’m Hunter! I’m a professional musician with over 10 years of teaching experience who performs full-time in Austin, Texas. I studied Percussion at Washington State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Music. I began performing as a teenager in Seattle, Washington. There, I played iconic venues such as The Crocodile, El Corazon, and the Hard-Rock Cafe. Shortly after graduating from WSU I moved to Austin, Texas where my career as a professional musician began. Since moving to Austin I have met and worked with incredible musicians such as Ian Crawford (Panic at the Disco), Bart Crow, and many other talented local and touring acts. My work consists of teaching, recording session work, freelance drumming, and drumming for my bands PES, Blue Tongue, and many other projects. I have played in front of thousands of people, toured the country playing music, and have played at most of the major venues in Austin. My goal as a teacher is not necessarily to require musical mastery by means of technical or theoretical development, but rather to aid my students in mastering the joy of learning! I would describe my teaching style as enthusiastic, flexible, attentive, and logical. What I’ve learned from my ventures as a professional, teacher, and as a student myself, allows me to give my students a well-rounded and practical learning experience. Looking forward to our first lesson, Hunter

I had a great time during my lessons with Hunter! He’s and incredibly knowledgeable and skilled drummer who helped me figure out what goals I wanted to work toward on the instrument and then helped me get right on the path to achieving those goals. A friend and I both took lessons with him, me being a more experienced musician and my friend newer to music, yet despite our vastly different experience levels, Hunter adapted his teaching style to us individually and we both got a lot out of our time with him. I would highly recommend that anyone with an interest in becoming a drummer take lessons with Hunter Thompson!

Hunter has been teaching my daughter piano for the past two years. The lessons are engaging, and she looks forward to them. He teaches a mix of genres, which keeps it interesting and well-rounded.

While I was looking for a more local solution - Hunter was the first to respond across a variety of instructors.

Details: 45 - 64 years old • No formal training • Understands note durations and rests • What the teacher recommends • Rock • No, but the student is planning to purchase drums and would like the teacher's advice on it • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location • Remotely (phone or internet)

It’s obvious that Hunter has lots of experience teaching. He was able to meet me at my skill level and build from there with the appropriate pacing, devoting extra time to concepts I struggled with, and quickly expanding on what I picked up more easily. I don’t have a strong background in music theory, but Hunter is able to clearly explain concepts in layman’s terms that I can understand with ease. Hunter is a great guy, and I’ve had a great time learning from him!
