Why I work well with kids?
I have been teaching lessons for over 10 years now and I think my success as a teacher comes from not only teaching students how to play the drums piano and guitar, but more importantly, how to enjoy music and have fun playing music. As I grew up I played drums 4-6 hours a day and it wasn’t because anyone was forced me to play, it was because it was something I truly enjoyed. While teaching I keep my childhood experience in mind and always make it my first job to teach students how to enjoy playing.
Gary Talks About Drum Equipment for Beginners
Gary knows about drum equipment. He also knows about teaching and performing.
Useful information for drummers
Using a practice pad is very beneficial. There are wooden based practice pads with rubber on tops and Plastic pads with adjustable head tensioners, Both work very well.
These days you can find great deals on full adult and junior drum kits starting around $300 dollars. These deals can be found at The guitar center and Chuck Levens Washington music center (Talk to Coleman) in the drum department, Tell Him i sent you and he”ll take great care of you.
For great deals on vintage and second hand Drums check out Atomic music in College Park (talk to Lewis). They have tons of great drum kits at great prices. The benefits of buying a vintage drum are that they sound great and the value over the years will possibly increase.

Why I work well with kids?
I’m fun to be around and kids seem to resonate with that. We make sure to progress on the instrument while still making it about playing and enjoyment. Teaching for over ten years now to all ages has helped in being able to design a unique lesson based on each individual.
