| Welcome to drumsforu.com Celebrating six years in business & forty one years playing the drum set I would like to thank each & everyone of my students & their families, past & present, for allowing me to be a part of your life & for sharing with you my passion in life; music & the drum set. I live in music. Music is my life and I could not imagine life without music. In todays music I could not imagine the music without drums(a drummer). Drums play a very important role in today & yesterdays music. Drums are the heart beat of every song. Without a heart beat there is no life. "It is never too early or too late to begin having fun learning how to play the drum set." drumsforu.com is dedicated in bringing the ART & FUN of learning how to play the drum set to each and every student. The student is exposed to a wide range of musical styles which contributes to a well balanced education. Leadership: If a band has a drummer & all other members /musicians of that band follow the drummer's beat while playing then who is the leader of the band? |
