I started playing drums at the young age of 3 years old. I started my first gig at a local church at 5 years old and played at that church and several others until I graduated from high school at 18. ... My mom was a pianist since 12 and also played at several churches, so playing drums pretty much came natural to me. Growing up I did have the chance to take a couple of drum lessons so I understand how the process works. Also during my middle & high school years I had the opportunity to play in percussion and on the drum line & was section leader for most of those years. I understand music theory and how to read music for different percussion instruments such as xylophones, timpani, Congo, snare and bass drums, quads, trap set, etc. Besides from drums I have also took piano lessons in my younger days and have an associate certificate in Audio Production from Full Sail University. read more

What's good lovely people? I'm Chris and I'm a native of a small town in South Georgia. I have had a passion for music ever since a small age of 3. I played drums along side my mother who played piano... for several years until I graduated and went off to trade school. I spent majority of my middle and high school years serving on the drum line and percussion section, where I had the honor of being section leader for majority of those years. Music has always been a hobby as well as a passion for me, from composing instrumentals, drumming, music curating, teaching others and more. Growing up I have taught several of my younger family and friends how to play drums and now 3+ are still playing in different churches and events. With close to 30 years with a musical background and an overall ear for great music, I will teach the importance and the role the drummer or percussion section play. From crescendos and decrescendos, tempo, tuning, technique, maintenance and more. Look forward to giving you a great experience while you or your child learn a skill that can be utilize for life in more than one aspect.read more
