WHO WE ARE
We are Digitally & Creatively
Designing For Your Drumming Needs
Let me put together a program that is tailored to your needs and most importantly gets you to achieve your goals, whatever they are.
Not having a plan or program will not get you where you want to go and can result in developing bad habits, incomplete skill sets, and a lot of wasted time and frustration. Let’s not do that!
Let’s move in the right direction and have a great time doing it!
Playing Technique
Getting what’s in your head out onto the instrument is one challenge all artists struggle with at some point. A solid foundation in the fundimentals can erase many of the obstacles we’ll encounter.
Reading Music
It’s not always required, but it’s always helpful to know how to read and understand music. By speaking the language, communication becomes much easier. I can teach you how to play without knowing how to read music but we’ll go a lot further if you do!
Putting It On The Drums
So now that we know how to play and what to play, let’s get it on the drums! Where you are on your musical journey will determine where we start. Anywhere from just learning how to play to working out the bugs for someone that already has experience playing and performing.

WHAT HELP IS AVAILABLE?
We provide private and group lessons in person at your home or business. Assistance with setting up your equipment as well as maintence and repair are also available.
WHAT AM I GOING TO LEARN?
To help you become a musical drummer we recommend learning how to play the basic skills, read music, and develop a core vocabulary on the drums. Ultimately we are here to help you play what you want to play. That’s key.
HOW DO I GO ABOUT CONTACTING PAT?
Whatever way works best for you is fine. I would suggest we get on the phone for a brief evaluation to make sure this will be a good fit and take it from there.

Start With The Basics
Why I Created Pat’s Lessons
This was all about getting my teaching methods out for drummers who are not local to me.
Triplets
Triplets are important for a variety of reasons, and are most needed for a well rounded drummer as they form the basis of many styles of music.
Single Paradiddle
Our 1st combination of putting "Singles" and "Doubles" together to form a specific pattern, but more specifically, a new Rhythm!
Double Stroke Rolls
As the term "Roll" or "Trill" is used in percussion, it generally refers to a sustained note. Or what you might think of as a continuous tone, a note that keeps going.
