About Patrick

I’m on staff as drum-instructor and electronics specialist at the Philadelphia School Of Rock.

Details at: (concealed information)

I offer lessons in:

general drum kit: acoustic / electronics

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) skills

My teaching studio features everything you’ll need for an immersive musical learning experience:

2+ acoustics drum kits for tandem play.

PA system to play along with YOUR favorite music

recording studio tools to document and share your progress

metronome with electronic practice pads

plenty of ear-protection!

I've taught lessons on-and-off for years.

I first started in 2003, during a summer home from college, teaching for a few weeks at a local store in Tulsa OK.

After moving to Philadelhpia, I taught sporadic one-off sessions for people interested in specific drumkit or audio-electronics stuff.

In 2016, I started regular lessons from home, starting with my then-guitarist's son.

By 2017, I was soon picking up subsitute shifts at Philadelphia's (original) School of Rock, where I am now on regular staff.

About the lesson

I always start with an evaluation session, where we:

- discuss their musical background and goals.

- assess aural skills ("ear") for rhythm and structure

- assess musical literacy (for drum notation)

- discusss physicality and motivation; how much time and energy they have as a "casual hobbiest" or a "daily driven" learner.

With this information, I tailor the start, pacing, and focus of the lesson schedule to fit the student. We can anways adjust along the way to the client's satisfaction.

Men and women, boys and girls.
Ages: 6 to 50+

Being so close to "University City" campuses, I've had college and grad students, and local academic-types.

Most things are challenging because they're either "hard" (like archery) or "complicated" (like chess), but seldom both.

Drumming can be a a bit of both.

The challenge of learning can be both physically AND mentally taxing, but the reward is that progress is doubly satisfying.

SO, MY ADVICE:
Personal chemistry with a teacher is vital. If you don't feel comfortable straining your body or brain with (or for) your teacher, it can really lesson motivation.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Like any instrument, it REALLY helps to have a kit to pratice on and call your own.

Drums arme a uniquely large and loud investment, but regardless of what the sales clerk at the drum store tells you, you DO NOT need a full kit right away.
Fundamnetals will start on 1 of few drums, so you can literally build up a kit in steps.

ASK YOURSELF:
"Do I have room in my budget and my house to proceed?"
