ABOUT
IMG_7136_edited.jpg

Hi! I'm Jeff.

I'm a passionate drummer and drum instructor. Forty-something years ago, I got my first drum kit -- a red sparkle 5-piece. Since then, I've been committed to improving my playing skills.

 

Without any means for formal instruction, I'd spend hours each day, listening to my drum idols and mimicking their chops, beat for beat. Eventually, I'd learn drum theory, notation, and various techniques. In only a short time, I'd attained a level of confidence that enabled me to play with other musicians and even perform in public.

My training didn't stop there. I've had several intensive drumming courses taught by some of the world's best drummers like Thomas Lang, Jojo Mayer, Ash Soan, Gavin Harrison and Billy Ward. They've given me a wealth of information and inspiration that I've been passing on to ambitious drummers, young and old, for the past 20 years.

TESTIMONIALS

Jeff taught me all the basics, different techniques and skills, all of which I still use in my drumming today. He gave me the confidence to eventually join a band as a drummer. Jeff is a brilliant tutor and a fantastic drummer himself.
