About Me

Drum Kit Tuition
Born and raised in Los Angeles and educated in New York City, I have 26 years professional drumming experience. Residing now in Belfast, I've been teaching drums in Northern Ireland for 12 years. I run a studio in Drumbo near Carryduff equipped with professional drum kits (no electronic kits). Or I can travel to you distance permitting. I cater for all ages, styles, abilities and needs. Graded examinations or for leisure. Competitive rates (see teaching blog for details), friendly and encouraging lessons.
I play for lounge-funk popsters The Greeters, laptop & live drums duo Shameless Hussies, Irish reggae and ska band Bréag, and instrumental jazz trio The Funny Valentines.
Available for teaching, session and live work.
