LESSONS:
At 1drummer4you, I use a very un-orthodox approach to drumming while using basic fundamentals of theory and common knowledge of rhythm. This means I use a mixture of proper technique, posture, drum setup and placement – combined with a good ear, sense of timing and feel – and with a realistic direction of a student’s goals. I make learning fun and interesting which helps every student reach their full potential as a drummer.
RATE: $50 for 30 minutes/ $90 for one hour (in home session within 25 mi of 92586), $1 per extra mile up to 70 miles
RECORDING:
I have experience with recording drums and percussion in a professional setting. I have a great attitude, and an easy-going personality. I come to each session prepared, rehearsed, and with a strong will and passion to finish the project in a timely manner. I enjoy being part of the creative process, but I also keep an open mind to any pre-arranged drum parts wanted by the artist or band. My goal is to ensure the client is completely satisfied with all of the work provided during each session.
From full length albums, to EP’s, and singles, I have worked with various producers including:
Bill Metoyer (Slayer, Wasp, Armored Saint…), Skulls 7 Studio, Hollywood, California
John Goetz (Black Flag, J. Giles Band, Tommy Tutone, Chaka Khan…), Parkhill Studios, Hemet, California
John Trench (Heritic, Hexx, Hirax…), Trench Studios, Corona
Dave Swanson (As I Lay Dying, Still Remains, Suicide Silence…), Love Juice Studios, Riverside, California
RATE: To be determined
TOURING:
I have touring experience, in both the United States and Europe, and have played open air festivals and intimate clubs. I know what it takes to play consistently well while on tour. I am willing and able to be on the road for months at a time. I have reliable transportation, great gear, and a determination to see each tour to the end.
