Then we need to talk.

I am Ace Drummer. Not a flying ace with many victories but a private eye who is always searching for answers to the mystery that is DRUMS!

I have spent over 40 years searching the world of percussion. I am by no means the final expert but I have gathered a very large amount of experience and knowledge that I can share.

As an active percussionist / drummer you can find me performing in the Beaver Valley Orchestra, the Concord UMC Praise Band and for my own personal enjoyment.

As a percussion teacher I focus on rudiments, muscle development, technique and knowledge of the instrument. I use and teach the rudiments as the backbone of percussion. Rudiments are the ABCs of percussion and without them a drummer is unable to ‘speak the language’.

I teach in many areas of percussion including: marching drum lines, modern set drumming, jazz drum set, hand percussion and symphonic percussion.
