Money-Back Guaranteed Results: Using the CoreBeat Instructor's own"CoreBeat System of Mastering Technique & Rhythm - Principles, Methods, and Exercises," you'll reach new levels of skill, confidence, and playing enjoyment. If after the 1st lesson you're not completely satisfied, I'll gladly refund your money!

Instruments: I can teach you how to play just about every type of Drum (e.g., Rudimental-Marching & Concert Snare Drum, Drum Set, Hand-Drums: African, Latin, Cuban, Middle Eastern) & Hand-Percussion instrument (Shakers/Maracas & Rattles, Cowbells/Double-Bells, Tambourines, Triangles, Claves/Blocks, Guiros/Rasps, Cymbals, etc.). Also, don't worry if you don't have the equipment you need yet - there's plenty to be learning while you're looking for it! I've found that you can play on just about anything and I even have equipment for rent!

All Ages & Abilities: I've worked with 5 year olds to 75 year olds and everything in between! I've also worked with special needs: deaf, blind, handicapped, retarded, ADD, ADHD, and ED (emotional disturbed). I've helped out 1000s of beginning & intermediate students and been privileged to even challenge a number of professionals. My"CoreBeat System of Mastering Technique & Rhythm - Principles, Methods, and Exercises" is so revolutionary that it will amaze even the most traditionally trained!

Philosophy: Unlike most teachers and drum books that give you 1000s of drills but never really explain why you're doing them, I'll teach you the Principles (the "why"), the systematic Methods for applying them (the "how"), and a few Exercises to illustrate them - but then you'll make up many more! This helps you develop your own creativity according to guidelines that best fit the music. In fact, you'll be encouraged to bring in anybody you know who plays bass, guitar, keyboards, etc. (regardless of their skill level) so that right from the beginning, you'll learn how to create music together. Many local bands have started just like this!

Customized Lessons: I'll personalize your lessons according to your skill level and objectives. We'll weave whatever you need into your lessons: I'll teach you how how to really listen to music, to take ideas from others and customize them, to read musical notation, and even how to write music! You'll learn a Counting & Singing method that will enable to you more quickly learn just about anything in a more musical way. You'll learn a system of geometric Motion studies that will enable you to play faster with more endurance and power and to create fantastic sounding beats & fills. You'll learn the many Rudiments of drumming Technique but in a much simpler, more intuitive, energy-efficient, musical manner than those typically taught. You'll also greatly expand your rhythmic vocabulary in an incredibly systematic fashion.

Other Benefits: 30+ years of playing, 10+ years of teaching, and 1000s of hours of research & development that went into creating the"CoreBeat System of Mastering Technique & Rhythm - Principles, Methods, and Exercises"
