Bio

I’m a full time professional musician living in Los Angeles, California. I perform, gig, record and teach drum lessons here. I earned my B.A in Professional Music from Berklee College of Music, with concentrations in Drum Set Performance and Music Business. In 2015 I won the international Hit Like a Girl contest. I travel around the world giving Drum Set Clinics to universities and music institutions. I’m honored to endorse the world’s top drum companies, including Zildjian, Evans, Mapex and Vic Firth. I’ve been fortunate enough to have taken drum lessons with some of the world’s best drummers, including Dave Dicenso, Ralph Peterson, Bernard Purdie and Terri Lyne Carrington. These are some of the experiences that have shaped my musicianship. I feel it’s my pleasure as well as responsibility to pass on knowledge and information to help others grow and succeed in their drumming journey.

Teaching Info

What are Drum Lessons with Lindsay Like?

Hello! My name is Lindsay, and I would love to help you reach your full drumming potential. I offer engaging drum lessons that will give you proper skills and technique while also having fun. We do this by learning and then applying drumming techniques to real music you enjoy playing. I have experience teaching drum lessons to complete beginners through professional drummers, ages children through adults. Every drummer has different aspirations in drum lessons, that’s why my lessons are highly individualized and custom molded to your goals.

What do Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced level drummers focus on in Drum Lessons?

Beginner drummers start with learning things like basic drum set technique, rudiments, rhythms, music notation reading and writing, beats, grooves, fills and songs. Intermediate and advanced drummers might be interested in expanding their vocabulary, applying rudiments to the drum set, increasing creativity, strengthening their weak hand, bass drum foot technique, and optimizing practice time for the fastest and most effective results, for example.
