CURRENTLY ACCEPTING IN-HOME STUDENTS WITHIN THE DAYTONA BEACH,
ORMOND BEACH AREA (32119-32117-32174).
Career drummer/teacher
As your teacher, my soul intention is to prepare you for a full, and hopefully
lucrative career, behind a drumset. If you only want to do it as a hobby, that's your decision,
but I will still aspire to prepare you to compete with professional drummers on virtually
any level.
As the lessons progress, and as your abilities increase, we will delve deeper into the
finer points of reading notation, rudiments and rudimental-applications (around the set).
You will learn to manipulate and APPLY the rudiments to modern music, in a FUN way,
along with all YOUR favorite recordings and musical styles. You'll hardly realize that
you are practicing and developing. You'll hopefully just have fun, only to realize
later that it actually qualifies as hard work and practice, towards total mastery of the
instrument.
It will be FUN! My teaching methods are unlike anything you may encounter elsewhere.
We'll study improvised solos, and in general . . . I can and will teach you everything you will ever want to learn about drumming.
You will learn all the current and popular beats along with billions of beats and rhythm
patterns that have not yet had their day in the sun. This will eventually include
the entire time-signature system, and the 18 quintillion beat structures that exist
in both, odd and even time.
Yes! There are that many beat patterns, and I'll show you exactly HOW they
exist. We (all drummers collectively) never learn them all. We'll focus primarily
on the beat and roll-patterns that are currently popular.
I GUARANTEE FUN! If you are not enjoying the lessons, you may stop at anytime. I
do not think you will want to do that, once you get a taste of what I have to show you.
MY RATE IS: $18.00 per 30-minutes. I prefer to teach 1-hour lessons once per week
when I'm driving to the homes. It just makes more sense, (but I'm negotiable on that
issue).
DRUM SET RENTALS: I rent full drum sets to my qualified and responsible students.
The rate for the drumsets I have available, range from $50 to $65 per month. (Some
of my rental sets are of higher quality than others.) We can also discuss a rent-to-own
option.
I do not rent drumsets over-night, or by the week. It's just too risky. I only rent to
those trusted students who are studying with me on a weekly basis.

Incidentally, as a parting thought, I am the author of the five drumming courses listed on
the following web page: Five drumming courses, by Bill Powelson
Order my courses from the web page if you prefer to go it on your own. Those online/computerized lessons are essentially the same material I will be teaching you privately in your home.
