TESTIMONIALS
“Chris apart for being one of my favourite new generation drummers, is a quick minded and smart teacher that shared with me tips and practical exercises on exactly what I needed at the time. I was already ‘an advanced drummer’ and I asked him though questions, but he was more than ready for them. Also, his flow on the drums is super classy”
Tancredi Locigno, Italy - Author of 'Time Trip' w/ Hudson Music.
“Chris is a masterful musician who has definitely exceeded his 10,000 hours behind the kit. Our lesson helped me tighten the connection between my four limbs and one of the exercises has become a part of my daily routine. His phrasing, meter, and touch are what makes him stand out from so many drummers and Chris can help you find your own voice. I now have a deeper understanding of odd groupings and implementing them into music freely, as I please. Meeting Chris and taking that lesson opened up a whole new world in my playing and I’m thankful for that.”
Matt Poynter, FL - The Hip Abduction
“Chris has one of the best approaches to teaching I’ve ever experienced. Anything you bring to the table, he knows how to simplify it in a way to help you understand it. It’s like a building blocks approach. He’s very professional and personable on every level! Super kind dude as well! I’ve had lessons from some big names in the industry, and while they were beneficial, nothing comes close to how much lessons from Chris have helped my drumming!”
Brandon Trahan, CA - Impending Doom
“My lesson experience has been truly mind expanding. His vast knowledge helped me grow my rhythmic vocabulary and how I approach phrasing. He’s helped me shine a light on my weaknesses and since then I’ve gain more confidence trading phrases with other drummers. If you want to invest in your drumming self, I’d highly recommend his lessons.”
Sean Lafferty, PA - Yatra
“The concepts that Chris discussed with me and demonstrated in our lesson have had such an invaluable impact on, not just my playing, but my overall approach to drumming. I am still practising and living by the things he went over with me. Chris's playing is of the very highest calibre, and, as a teacher, he's able to analyse, break down and explain very challenging subject matter in a really 'user-friendly' way. As a person, he's friendly, approachable, and a super nice guy - everything you could hope for in a teacher”
Dan Lonsdale, UK
“Back in 2020, I had the pleasure of taking two lessons with Chris: one virtual and one in-person. I can confidently say that it was pivotal moment for me in how I approach playing the drums. I consider myself to be a technically proficient drummer, but before I took those lessons with Chris, I always felt that I get stuck in my head and overthink when asked to improvise/solo. It was difficult to be in the moment while playing in that scenario. In my opinion, Chris seems to have the perfect blend of having a technical yet playful style, ornamented with beautifully phrased ideas that leave your jaw on the floor. I had to pick his brain. His views on the mental side of drumming (motivic development, grid-weaving, etc.), being calm, and having a general awareness and acceptance of what you are playing in the moment has steered me down the path I wanted: To develop my own authentic voice on the drums. Now when I listen back to a solo of mine, it doesn’t sound contrived or planned out. The vocabulary I’ve been amassing for 17 years is finally coming out organically. I feel it getting better each day because of Chris’s methods. No matter where you are on your musical journey, do yourself a favor and take at least one lesson with Chris. You won’t regret it.”
