Yesterday, I ventured an hour south of me, down to NYC to visit a reputable drum school called “The Collective.” I’ve heard a lot about the school and it’s reputation. It’s been around since the late 70’s and has some really great lesson programs for aspiring drummers.
Personally, I’ve been giving private lessons for about 2 yrs now. I’ve had some pretty solid success and some great feedback from my students. All in all, I have a pretty good understanding of how to translate what I do to other people. That being said, I’m collaborating with the staff at the Drummer’s Collective in an effort to set up a clinic some time in February. I’m pretty excited about this because this is the first opportunity I’ve had to teach in a high profile setting.
The educatiional side of drumming is something that I’ve always been interested in. I took lessons for the first 3-4 years of playing and it gave me a greater appreciation of the instrument and what goes into mastering it. To this day, I’m still a student of the drums and try to soak up as much as I can. There’s definitely something to be learned from all drummers that you come in contact with.
I will be announcing and promoting my clinic shortly. Check back soon.
