professional to take drum lessons on a variety of percussion
instruments. With over 40 years as a professional percussionist, his
primary instrument the drum set or kit. However, he is also a
teacher of Latin, African, and Middle Eastern drums, with
considerable experience on mallet and other orchestral percussion.

and recorded many albums from rock to folk music. He played drums
with Elvis in movies and recorded on Columbia on the legendary
electronic rock band, the United States of America, having designed
his own electric drums for the group.
On the drum set, students gain a broad range of skills from learning

with recordings.
