Student Spotlight

Over the years I have had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of students. I’m happy to include them in this section of the site. This student spotlight is dedicated to letting everyone out there know about some of the rising drum stars of the future.

I have provided a list of questions for students to answer and also to share their thoughts. I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know more about these drummers!!
