Conga Sounds

I really enjoyed working with the students at Long Beach Middle School. This young man was shy, but he was a natural with the drums.

Conga Talk

This young lady was super spirited. It is so wonderful to see and feel so much energy!

Conga Fun

Honestly, it is always fun when it comes to drumming. Even when you are practicing. This young man was having a blast learning about new conga patterns.

Shanghai

The wonderful students at Shanghai Conservatory Middle School. Always a treat to see them!

Tambourine, man!

The tambourine is a versatile instrument. I was demonstrating some of its many uses with these lovely, young students.

CalArts

The wonderful and interesting percussion students at CalArts. Thanks Amy!

Summer Percussion Seminar

One of my favorite projects. This is the group from 2015, and they were fantastic. These kids worked hard and put together a terrific concert in a matter of days.

Hallelujah!

When someone gets it, it's a great moment. Robert Slack's students get it.

USC

Top-notch students at USC. I had a great time listening to them.

Westlake HS

Wow! What a great high school program. Here I am enjoying a hand drumming class with a wonderful group of young men and women. Groovin'!

Westlake HS Auditorium

A great crowd and awesome masterclass! I really enjoyed working with this group because their teachers are amazing and made sure they were at a high level. Excellent questions. We all learned something.
