Drum Lessons
Drums bring energy, movement, and rhythm to music in a way no other instrument can. They’re a wonderfully physical and expressive way to connect with sound. Building a solid foundation of timing takes focus, practice, and commitment—but the journey is incredibly fun.
Lesson Structure
- Proper stick grip and playing posture
- Timing, rhythm, and groove fundamentals
- Rudiments and coordination exercises
- Ear training and stylistic versatility
- Song-based instruction and play-alongs

Hi, I’m Barrett. I discovered drums later in my music journey. I started playing because I always felt I didn't have a good way of communicating with drummers I performed with. So, I started taking drum lessons mostly to understand the skills, language, and nuances of drumming. However, I found that I loved the practice that drums require. Learning to play drums well requires focus and dedication. There's a trance-like state that happens when I sit down to practice. Time flies by! Students regularly experience this when at the end of drum lessons they ask "It's over already?!"
Student Testimonials
Shawn DeckerI’m having the best time learning guitar. What started out as a way to connect with my daughter, has turned into my own personal passion. I’m really enjoying the journey. It takes lots of focus… which takes me away from the stress of life. It is so exciting to be able to actually play songs… songs that I enjoy.
If you have any interest in learning guitar, ukulele, drums, piano…. I highly recommend Moxie Music Lessons. Barrett had me playing Lean On Me by lesson 4…. Now Taylor Swift and the Eagles! I love it!!!
My daughter and I are preparing for our first mini performance …. Eek! Can’t wait!
