Devin's Biography

"I’ve been drumming for roughly 15 years! My love for drums started back when I was a small kid banging on pots and pans, then pen and pencils at school, until finally getting gifted my first drum set in middle school and have been playing ever since!

I’ve been in the gigging scene ever since my senior year of high school, between busking and playing open mics to actual small gigs at wineries and breweries I stayed busy most weeknights and weekends putting in the hours to get my name out there as well as time with my instrument to become better and better!

I’ve played in almost every kind of genre of band from folk to punk and metal to jazz! As of now I’m in two bands (The Milestones, and 14£bs) mostly ranging from indie to punk rock. I’m also a session drummer for Sill and Glade studios playing for many new and upcoming artists and some well-established ones! 

My goal as a teacher is to do the easy and laid-back method of learning compared to that strict and “by the book” typical music class you see in schools. I remember being intimidated and nervous to sign up for drum lessons because it always felt like I would be shamed for not knowing music theory or having previous experience, so I intend to always keep a great atmosphere for new drummers of all spectrums and genres to come learn and better themselves in a great nonstressful environment where we try to learn the way that resonates with them!"
