Drummer, instructor, clinician and now retired from the Air Force after 22.5 years. Thanks to the Air Force I was able to see many parts of the world which expanded my drumming. Drums have been something I have done for over 30 years. Raised in Rochester Michigan a small suburb north of Detroit (Motor City). I got into drumming from watching the marching bands that used to march in our Christmas parade and after driving my mother nuts she finally gave in and signed me up in the 5th grade for drums and I haven't looked back since. Drums are great because you get to hit something with sticks...How great is that! Once I got stared there was no looking back and I haven't stopped trying to improve what I can do with the drums since then. Drumming is a journey not destination, how great is that! Well, once I got into drum set I had found my true passion in life. I like anything to do with drumming. I really enjoy learning different things and styles. Rock and progressive rock are what I really enjoy but I have found a new passion in working on different styles in the Latin field, Songo, Baion and Samba are a blast to work on. Jazz is another one I will always be working on jazz, but it’s all worth it. I have also been a student of drumming and have taken lessons with many drumming greats to include Roxy Petrucci (Vixen), and Japanese greats Akira Jimbo, and Japanese fusion great Kozo Suganuma. This being said I have a lot to offer to an up and coming drummer who wants to further their knowledge and skill of drumming. I teach all levels and all styles of music at Playground Music in Ft Walton Beach Florida. Stop in and see where your drumming can go.Layout:
