Ben has been teaching drums for an astounding 20 years! He also has a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, and a Master's degree in Jazz Performance, even though he prefers performing in rock bands. We are lucky to his wealth of knowledge and experience accessible to all students and teachers here in the studio.
Ben takes tremendous care to ensure students develop correct playing habits, and solidify their foundation of essential drumming skills, as he takes pride in his work as a teacher. He also transcribes drum charts for students, and has created his own set of worksheets and drill sheets that will transform your playing and account for all types of learning styles. He's also a pretty clever jokester, so be prepared for that too!
Ben plays at least 2 shows a week in the DC area, and students love watching him perform. Some of Ben's bands include FuzzQueen, Derek Evry, Laura Tsaggaris, and Mud Rey.
Ben currently teaches on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
