About Michael

Are you ready to take your drumming to a professional level? Confused about how to find, land, and keep a gig? Well look no further! What I offer is a specialized, intensive remote lessons program specially designed to send you confidently into the gigging world. The tools that I provide in these lessons will not only overhaul your drumming skills but also your skills in organization, time management, your interpersonal abilities, and even your physical well-being.

What about me?

I am an internationally touring drummer and drum teacher versed in many styles of music, with over a decade of professional teaching and playing experience. I have played as many musical styles as you can imagine, for many types and sizes of crowds, in tons of different cities and countries. We can certainly dive more into my story as needed in the future.

For now, I want to keep the focus on the main goal: getting you your first gig!

Let’s set up a call to see if I can help you reach your goals!

Thanks,

Mike from Dallara Drums

I first started teaching privately to friends, then professionally through an organization in the Bay Area. My very first professional student is now a working drummer! I have since continued my private professional practice, and I have worked for music stores along the way.

I have studied with teachers, through books, and through various videos since the very beginning. I also have a minor in music from San Francisco State University, and I have played professionally since 2016.

About the lesson

I will always ask about their background--how long have they been playing drums? What interests them about the instrument? What are their goals? What types of music do they listen to? If they have never played drums before, I will usually start with a basic counting lesson. Then we will start with some basic beats, or some basic fills. Then we will probably start on a song!

I have taught students of every age group from 6-65, and of many skill levels from total beginners to advanced professionals.

Please, please, please hire a teacher with a passion for teaching AND some professional experience. A balanced and informed perspective on this instrument is essential for anyone, even if they are only interested in this instrument as a hobby. Preferably, the teacher can also read and teach reading sheet music.

I have loved my recent touring experiences with Jhariah and Catbamboo, and I have also loved my many recording experiences and countless random gigs.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are my goals with this instrument? Do I want to be a professional drummer, or am I more interested in playing drums as a hobby? What styles of music am I interested in? Do I want to learn to play parts note-for-note, or do I want to focus more on being expressive and artistic?

What can I say about Michael but he is a great drum teacher. My kid Melanie signed up with Michael a year ago without knowing anything about music. After 2 months kid was gifted. I'm a quitar player of 30 plus years and with what happened to my kid, I signed up 2 months later.

I don't want to give away his secrets to our success, but for the first time ever I can read music. I love it. I would like all of you to try some lessons from Michael and I look forward to playing all related and current drum sets and styles. Get him before he is famous and we lose him to a new hit band.
