Jake Matthews Drums

Interested in learning to play the drums? Already a drummer and looking to improve your skills? Are you a student in band looking to excel? If so, drum lessons are the answer! I started drumming when I was 10-years-old simply to try out a new activity, and it has been one of the best decisions that I've ever made. Other than discovering my true passion and joy in my life, it has allowed me to experience some pretty incredible people, places, and things I never thought imaginable in music, and I now want to share that knowledge with others! For more information, please send me a message, text, or give me a call. Also, make sure to look at my flyer below for details about lessons. To my future students…I hope to hear from you soon!
