I told people I was
a drummer before I even had a set,
I was a mental drummer. ~ Keith Moon

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.
