Introduction

I feel that my passion for drumming, education, and vast experience performing in very high levels of the music industry set me apart from other instructors. I feel I have a stronger understanding of what is expected from drummers in today's professional setting that I can pass on to my students. I've played drums live and in the studio for several years. As exciting as that can be, I've always felt it was more fulfilling, in many ways, to sit one-on-one with a student who is interested in the art of drumming, break things down to easily digestible fundamentals and then put it all back together. This process itself brings me great joy, but the real fun begins when I start to see my students' long-term goals/dreams become reality.

Zhach was very professional and helpful - he gave me suggestions while also making sure we maintained my initial creative vision for the song. Very safe environment- friendly and respectful. We got the work done in a timely manner and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of my song.

I went into the lessons with some self-taught experience, and zero knowledge of terms/basics. Zhach is doing a phenomenal job of filling the holes in my knowledge, and expanding it into new territory. Lessons are an ideal blend of experimentation, new concepts, and the repetition of previously learned material.
