1-on-1 Lesson, 60 minutes (Zoom or In-Person)
$100.00
Stop wondering what to practice. In one hour, we will build a personalized roadmap for achieving the music goals you have.
Stop wasting time. Whether you want to make your grooves feel less robotic and more musical, expand your fill vocabulary to feel more creative and unique, or discover how to learn music quicker and more accurately – I’ve helped students all over the world to do this. And it takes less time in the practice room than you might think.
Avoid overwhelm. The goal isn’t 50 new exercises. It’s to help you understand why you’re stuck and build a simple system that will continue to work at solving that problem.
Less is more. Most drummers don’t need more information – they need someone to identify one or two things that will help them to the next level. One focused hour can save months of unfocused practice.
Flexibility for your schedule. Some students book a single lesson to solve a specific problem. Others check in weekly or monthly as a way to keep themselves accountable. I’m here for whichever fits where you are in your musical development.
Why a lesson with me?
- Touring and recording drums is the only “job” I’ve ever had (besides a few summers in high school as a lifeguard) so my 20 years of experience as a professional musician means we focus only on material that will actually make you a better musician and show real results
- I’ve toured with Grammy winning artists and recorded with producers all over the world (and was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2022) and bring all of the wisdom and knowledge I’ve learned from them to each lesson
- Over the last decadeZildjian, Vic Firth, The Percussive Arts Society, Benny Greb, Stanton Moore have all trusted me to help them create educational resources
- My students range from beginners to professionals and are spread out all over the world, and you can read testimonials from them on this page. Their stories speak for themselves

TESTIMONIALS:
“I originally came to Tim with a specific technical question, how to play with tracks, and I ended up getting far more than I expected. Over a year of monthly lessons, it’s become clear he’s an exceptional educator, not just a great drummer. He listens, asks insightful questions, and never falls back on a formulaic, one-size-fits-all approach. I’ll often show up with a question completely unrelated to our last session, and he not only answers it, but ties it into my larger development as a player.
As a result of our lessons, I chart songs faster, prepare for gigs more efficiently, and communicate more clearly with bandmates. That last skill proved especially valuable when I had to learn a song with brand-new band members in 30 minutes for a reality show. Every lesson ends with something new and an actionable strategy to move forward. Tim’s curious, constructive, and creative. If you’re a working musician or just someone who wants to go deeper in their playing, I highly recommend him as an instructor.”
“I was looking to refocus my practice routine – because of Tim’s clear and concise presentation my independence and coordination have improved. There are a ton of different ways to customize the material.”
“Tim’s strength in teaching drums is his ability to quickly adjust to the student’s level of knowledge and tailor his language to maximize the communication of the concepts.
After I end a class with Tim I keep thinking about what we discussed for days and weeks and everything makes more and more sense the more I think about it.
Tim changes the way you think about playing. He puts you on the right path to improve faster, and properly”
“Group lessons have inspired a new way of thinking about drums. Tim has helped show me principles I can actually apply to becoming a more creative drummer and has enabled me to let my drumming voice become more creative and musical.
These lessons are a safe environment where we learn from Tim as well as each other.”
“After almost a decade of drumming and taking lessons, Tim’s intuitive teaching style has surpassed my expectations. He consistently meets me where I am, helps me to recognize self-limiting beliefs, and celebrates the drummer I am every single time we meet.”
“After graduating from university, I didn’t know what my next step should be and it was during this confusing time that I began searching online for educational resources and stumbled upon Tim’s website.
His teaching style is very methodical and shows his seriousness and dedication. Through private lessons I’ve learned Tim is not only a very competent teacher, but also a trusted friend.
His encouragement has allowed me to constantly surpass the ceiling I set for myself and it was with Tim’s help I was able to prepare and get accepted to New York University.
I don’t think my music journey would be where it is without Tim and I’m so grateful for his help and mentorship.”
