Drumset Lessons

I'm a professional drummer, music educator, former Buddhist monk, and a certified Positive Psychology and Mindfulness Coach. With over 30 years of experience in mindfulness and meditation, I blend these practices with music education to offer a unique and holistic learning experience.
 

I've toured internationally and recorded in a wide range of drumming styles—Jazz, Hip Hop, Rock, Punk, Country, Blues, Funk, and more. I have a special passion for Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Afro Pop, Reggae, and Ska rhythms, and have studied global musical traditions extensively.
 

Teaching is my passion. I love connecting with students and helping them overcome challenges as they learn to express themselves through music. Seeing them build self-confidence and creative courage is incredibly rewarding. I believe that mastering an instrument enriches all aspects of life, and I'm dedicated to supporting each student's overall well-being.

In 2025, I launched the Resilience Rising Coaching Program to help young people develop the mindset, skills, and support they need to tackle life’s challenges, form meaningful connections, and create a positive impact on the world. Rooted in Positive Psychology and mindfulness, the program nurtures emotional resilience, open communication, and overall well-being.
