T fell in love and started playing the drums as a teenager - and hasn't stopped since! He earned a formal music degree at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. where he studied all things musical with an emphasis on jazz and composition.

Since then, T has played professionally with many top SF Bay Area bands and artists such as: Starship, Coldblood, Greg Allman (percussion), Pacific Brass & Electric, the Delbert Bump Big Band, Jim Chappelle and members of Tower of Power - just to name a few. You can also catch T live every Monday night at Pearl's in SF playing with the highly acclaimed "Contemporary Jazz Orchestra".  

T has enjoyed helping people learn how to play the drums for over 20 years; including teaching 3 years at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill. T strives to give his students more than just simple drum basics - they receive a complete musical education in the fine art of drumming; including study of the famed Moeller technique, practice at music reading and an introduction to all drumming styles.

T's rate is $30.00 per lesson which is paid monthly in advance. If you want to learn the correct way to play from the start or maybe you want to take your rock drumming to a new level then email T or give the Antioch store a call to register. He is available for lessons by appointment in Antioch on either Tuesdays or Thursdays.
