About
I have taught drum set and snare drum technique for over 40 years. The majority of students study with me for years. Several of my students have gone on to major music schools such as Berklee College of Music and several are working with major recording acts such as Linkin Park, Adam Lambert, Fall Out Boy, Paul McCartney, Janet Jackson, The Black Eyed Peas, Slipknot and others. I love the drums as much today as when I picked up my first pair of drumsticks many years ago. It gives me great satisfaction and pleasure to give knowledge and wisdom to students that I have acquired over a very long and renowned professional career as a drummer.

Keith was a really great and helpful teacher. I'm from Chile and English isn't my first language but he was always very patient and understanding. He is very dedicated to his students and gives good advice to help improve your playing. I 100% recommend Keith as a teacher.

Details: 25 - 44 years old • Traditional drum kit • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • Rock • Jazz • What the teacher recommends • More than once a week • 60 minutes • Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Saturday • Friday • Late afternoon (3 - 6pm) • Early afternoon (noon - 3pm) • Evening (after 6pm) • As soon as possible • Ready to hire the right teacher now • I travel to the drum teacher

It was great to meet a professional like Keith. In my first and only lesson with him, he recognized that I had a bad habit of not gripping the stick or hitting the snare properly with my left hand. He showed me a technique and encouraged me to practice correctly, watching myself in a mirror. Unfortunately his studio is not on a metro line and is not an timely commute for me. He is an excellent teacher.

Keith is a great teacher! He teaches you the fundamentals (important), which will pay you many dividends down the line. It’s obvious that his instruction comes from a lifetime’s worth of valuable knowledge. I look forward to every session. Highly recommended.

Details: 25 - 44 years old • Traditional drum kit • Bass drum • Snare drum • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • Rock • Country • Folk • Classical • Blues • Jazz • What the teacher recommends • No, but the student is planning to purchase drums and would like the teacher's advice on it • Once a week • 60 minutes • Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Saturday • Friday • Sunday • Morning (9am - noon) • Early morning (before 9am) • Late afternoon (3 - 6pm) • Early afternoon (noon - 3pm) • Evening (after 6pm) • Within the next 1 - 2 weeks • Need some more information before hiring • I travel to the drum teacher

I have been taking lessons with Keith for over three years. He is an excellent instructor, and highly knowledgeable about drum technique and the music industry. He is a good listener who can hear where I am off on my playing and is capable of getting me back on track. It is a pleasure learning from him.
