Tell me more about drum lessons!
You asked, so I answered:
who are these lessons for?
These lessons were designed for the absolute beginner drummer! No previous experience needed. If your goal is to just have some fun or to eventually be able to play in a band, these lessons are for you!
What do I need to start?
I’ll cover this in the first lesson video in more detail, but there are some items you’ll find helpful, for example a pair of drum sticks and a drum pad.
Do I need to practice?
I think you’re going to want to practice once you start these lessons! I’d recommend starting with 4-5 practice sessions a week and learning one lesson per week starting with lesson 1. You can practice along with a practice video available for most lessons.
How will i know what to practice?
Great question! The first several videos will not only be lessons but there will be practice sessions after the lessons. I found over the years that students have a hard time practicing on their own when they begin so I’ll be practicing with you after each lesson and you can follow along!
Past Student Testimonials:
Dave is a great teacher. I really like how he combines academic teaching with very practical instruction. He regularly draws upon his experience to inspire you, and given his background as a performer and his own personal studies with some of the great drummers of our time, he has great insights to share that always relate to the lesson at hand. As a beginner a few months ago, I never imagined I’d be aspiring to join or start a band so soon. Christopher N.
I am a beginner to the drums, and in only two lessons with Dave I am committed, confident, and simply loving it! He is a true musician, a skilled teacher, fun to be around, and I am already pounding the skins with precision!

And all the sudden I was playing the drums! I had never held a drumstick in my life before taking lessons, and now I can play and read rudiments, beats, and fills. Thanks to Dave's patience, skill, and passion for the drums...I am really playing the drums! He's a real Pro!
