Why Work With Me?

I've spent years mastering the art and science of drum sound - from tuning techniques and drum head selection to cymbal pairing and room acoustics. I can help you solve your specific drum sound challenges and develop a reliable system for maintaining great sound every time you play.

My approach focuses on getting the most from your current kit before recommending unnecessary purchases. Whether you're playing live or recording, I'll help you achieve the best possible drum sound with your specific equipment.

Sound Better, Play Better

Personalized 1:1 coaching that addresses the specific drum sound challenges that have been holding you back.

No more temporary fixes that don't last. No more expensive gear purchases hoping for better results. Just expert guidance tailored to your exact drums, playing style, and sound goals.

This is for you if:

✅ You're frustrated with how your drums and cymbals sound despite your best efforts

✅ You struggle with persistent tuning problems like snare buzz, unwanted overtones, or drums that won't stay in tune

✅ You want to maximize the sound of your current equipment before buying expensive new gear

✅ You record your drums but can't seem to capture the sound quality you hear from professional recordings

✅ You want personalized guidance specific to your unique equipment, space and musical style 

This is not for you if:

❌ You expect instant results without putting in the work between sessions

❌ "What kind of drums should I buy?" takes precedence over "How can I get great drum and cymbal sounds out of what I already have?"

❌ You're unwilling to experiment with different tuning approaches and setups

❌ You're an experienced drummer that already has it all figured out and has killer drum sounds

❌ You're primarily looking for production techniques rather than improving your fundamental drum sound
