We can even dive into learning how to get the best tones from your electric guitar and amplifier combinations in live situations.
Steve
Bunch
I have been teaching drum students for 15 years. I have taught students with no prior drumming skills, to students who are preparing for School band and to those wanting to learn how to play a drum kit. I have taught students who favor country to those who love rock and others who prefer praise and worship. All in all my passion for drumming drives me to help others in their creativity in drumming. Give us a call to schedule your lesson!
