I’ve known Marcello for years, and is one of the most exciting drummers to watch in NYC right now, and his teaching reflects that same energy. What sets him apart is his ability to make complex techniques feel accessible, whether you're a beginner or more advanced. His deep understanding of rhythm and talent for breaking down concepts create a learning environment that’s both supportive and engaging. Every lesson feels tailored, and his passion for drumming is contagious. If you’re looking to grow as a drummer, Marcello is the real deal.

Marcello has taught me how to play the drums for the past four years. He was able to start me with the core fundamentals, first teaching me how to hold the drum sticks properly with different techniques and from there he has elevated my ability to play the drums to a higher level than I thought I would ever be able to achieve. I have since been able to join multiple Jazz ensembles and play multiple concerts. He has taught me how to play multiple songs, how to sight read, how to solo over songs, and much more. Whether you are a complete beginner or have been playing for years, Marcello can teach you well and elevate your level of playing.
