Meet Your Teacher 👋
I’m Dave D’Amore, a drummer and educator with over 25 years of experience behind the kit.
My goal is to help you achieve your drumming ambitions in a fun and supportive learning environment.
ℹ️ New students begin with three intro lessons before moving to semi-private or private lessons.
All Skill Levels ✅
Semi-private Group Lessons
These 60-minute lessons have up to 3 students, offering individual attention and tailored feedback.
Students practice at their own pace using a dedicated drum kit or practice pad, with a screen and headphones to work on their personal practice routine.
We also incorporate group activities, discussions, and shared challenges – fostering interaction, teamwork and personal growth.
