As a musician I have performed with Rhianna, Lionel Richie, Ricky Martin, Chris Brown, Kimbra and Vernon Reid (Living Colour).
I was ranked one of the ‘Top 20 Millennium players’ by ‘Drumscene magazine.
I have appeared in ‘Modern Drummer’ (U.S.A), Rhythm (U.K), Percussion (Italy), and ‘Newsbeat (Canada) magazines.
One of my biggest achievements was performing with Australia’s number 1 artist Vanessa Amorosi at the ‘Grand Final’ in front of 100,000 people. Also sharing the bill with ‘Men at Work’ and ‘INXS’.
What to expect
I have taught drums for 21 years! My style is relaxed and I can quickly identify how a student learns. I have taught students with Autism, ADHD, and Aspergers.
I have taught at high schools throughout Australia for over 2 decades. I have given drum clinics for the 'Roland' corporation, Sabian cymbals, Tama drums and Vic Firth sticks.
I pride myself on being a great communicator and being able to teach what's inside my head to students of all ages and all levels quickly. I can teach someone who has never played drums before a basic beat in their first 30-minute lesson.

You can always think ahead and get a few things ready before your lessons. Make sure to tune your instrument before the lesson. Bring à a notepad and anything you might need to write down notes. We strongly recommend testing your video conference settings at least 15 min before each lesson to avoid any unwanted technical issues during the lesson.
