My approach to teaching is to make learning fun by customizing the lessons to the students musical taste. I teach all of the basics (proper technique, rudiments, coordination and music reading) while teaching songs and styles of the students choosing. To create a more rounded musician I expose my students to different types of drumming and help incorporate it into their own style of playing.
In 2000 I was hired by Digevent to create my own online drum show that I titled The Drum Beat with David Hall. The show ran for two years and was a weekly live interactive hour program where I taught all types of drumming. In 2005 I created my first drum book ~ Rock Beats in 4/4 Time.
