About Daniel
I am a professional drummer, teacher and rhythm-enthusiast from Italy currently based in Montréal, with a bachelor degree in Jazz Performance from McGill University and a music diploma from Holland College in Charlottetown (PE). I have been lucky to be taught by some of the best drum teachers in Montréal (John Hollenbeck, Andre White, Jim Doxas), and I am proud of having played with the best jazz musicians in the Montréal jazz music scene (Jean-Michel Pilc, Rafael Zaldivar, Adrian Vedady, Kevin Dean), Charlottetown (PE), and Italian pop and rock artists based out of Venice and Milan.

Hello and welcome! I offer drum lessons to students of all ages. Lessons will take place either at my studio in Hochelaga, Parc-Extension or at your house, if you have drums (transportation fee may apply).
During our lessons, I will tailor exercises specifically to you, finding the perfect blend between your passions, interests and what I consider useful practice for a drummer. My main goal is to make you improve on the instrument, while keeping the fun element and sharing my passion and knowledge to you :)
Speaking of knowledge! I've been playing the drums for about 20 years now. I come from Italy, where I studied drums privately up to the age of 19. I then moved to Canada, graduated from Holland College PEI (2018) and McGill University (2022), and have been teaching and playing professionally since.
We could talk about hand technique, rudiments, grooves, fills, coordination exercises, polyrhythms, musicality, styles, how to play the songs you like, ear training, prepare for an audition, play together or practice with some fun exercises.
If interested or having further questions, reply to this post.
Take care and see you soon!

Bonjour! J'offre des cours de batterie aux étudiants des toutes âges dans mon studio à Hochelaga, pas loin de centre-ville Montréal. Je suis batteur professional qui vient d'Italie, mais j'habite à Montréal depuis presque cinq ans. J'ai un baccalauréat en Performance du Jazz par l'université McGill, et je me suis aussi diplômé à Holland College dans l'Île du Prince Édouard. J'ai étudié avec les meilleurs professeurs de batterie de Montréal (John Hollenbeck, Andre White, Jim Doxas) et je suis fier d'avoir joué avec quelques uns des plus importants musiciens du jazz ici à Montreal (Jean-Michel Pilc, Rafael Zaldivar, Adrian Vedady, Kevin Dean), à Charlottetown (PE), et des artistes pop et rock italiens qui travaillent à Venice et Milan.
Dans nos lessons, je vais assigner des exercises spécifiques a chaque étudiant, et le focus des lessons changera en base des vos passions et intérêts.
Je veux que vous amélioriez comme batteurs et artistes, sans oublier de vous amuser. Je promets que je vais partager ma passion et connaissance avec vous.
Merci beaucoup et j'espère de vous voir bientôt!

Daniel is one of those teachers who will also blow you away as a musician, though he is very humble and curious. I've worked with Daniel both as a performer on drums and as a teacher. As a performer, he is often the most prepared person in the band, making a commitment to always memorize music for any and every gig that we've done. He is always punctual, clear, well-presented, fun and professional. Objectively as a drummer, his technique and musicality are at a very high level. He is well respected among the musicians locally in Montreal and the U.S.
As a teacher, he's worked with me on understanding more advanced tools like polyrhythms and "rhythmic illusions" and can explain simply with clarity.
Bonus: He's also very funny (has a good sense of humor).I highly recommend Daniel as an exceptional drum teacher. For nearly three years, he has been teaching my child, and the impact he's made has been remarkable.
Daniel is not only an incredibly talented musician but also one of the kindest and most genuine individuals you could meet. His teaching style is a perfect mix of patience, encouragement, and expertise, which has made learning both fun and inspiring for my child.
What truly sets Daniel apart is his ability to connect with his students. He creates a welcoming and supportive environment where growth and creativity flourish. His passion for music shines through in every lesson, and his positive energy is contagious.
If you're looking for someone to guide you or your child on a musical journey, I can't think of anyone better than Daniel. He's an outstanding teacher and a wonderful person!Daniel has been the drum teacher for my son for a few years. He is very talented, very patient, responsible, supportive and caring. My son really likes learning with him. I highly recommend Daniel without hesitation. He is the best drum teacher. And watching him play drum is a pleasure!
daniel has been super sweet and very patient throughout the years he has taught me. i’ve made a lot of great progress and look forward to working with him every weekend
Daniel is extremely enthusiastic and skilled, and shares his passion for the drums with love through his teachings. I have been learning from him for almost a year, and never fails to make his sessions fun and useful. He also adapts his lessons very well to my music likings.
Daniel has been my Italian tutor for a few months now. His lessons are instructive and engaging. He encourages me to speak Italian since the beginning, which has allowed me to make swift progress. I highly recommend him for perfecting your Italian skills.
Étant guitariste et passionné par les instruments composant un orchestre tels la basse, mais surtout la batterie, Daniel est devenu depuis quelques années ma référence en matière de percussion. Sa compréhension et son explication du rythme, ainsi que ces conseils plus techniques m'ont grandement aidés dans mes projets personnels de composition. Je vous le recommande sans hésitation!
Daniel is an exceptional drummer with an amazing ear. He is very sensitive. He notices all sorts of things when I'm playing with him that other musicians wouldn't. This is great for his students as he would quickly be able to recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and how to address them appropriately and kindly. He is a wonderful person and musician!
