Greetings and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. My name is Blake Paulson and I specialize in providing top-quality drum lessons in Los Angeles that are effective, enjoyable, and easy to grasp. I offer in-person lessons from my state-of-the-art drum studio, located on CrackerJack, that is specifically designed to enhance the learning experience. I am confident in the high-quality of my lessons and my studio and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
I provide drum lessons in a variety of time allotments ranging from 30 to 120 minutes, priced at $30 to $120, respectively. My availability is Tuesday through Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm.
With a degree from Berklee College of Music and private drum lessons from some of the most successful drummers in the industry, I have been a professional drummer since 1998. My performance resume includes recording multiple tracks for prominent artists such as Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and the Jonas Brothers. I am endorsed by top drum brands, including A&F Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Remo Heads, and Vic Firth Sticks.
I teach individuals of all abilities and backgrounds, ranging from ages five and up, and have taught countless students over the past 15 years. I have developed my own drum method, which I utilize to instruct my students, and have published five drum set method books worldwide.
Lessons are offered at my custom-built drum studio, where each student has access to two high-quality drum sets, professional recording capabilities, and complimentary beverages. Additionally, I offer the option of online lessons via FaceTime, opening up opportunities for students worldwide.
My lesson plans are customized to the requests and interests of each individual student. I teach a vast array of musical styles and skills, including but not limited to technique, reading and writing music, music theory, and four-way coordination.
To schedule a lesson, please contact me. I would be happy to discuss further details, provide my resume, and answer any questions you may have. As my performance schedule is highly demanding, I limit my student enrollment, focusing on the most dedicated and motivated individuals.

Blake has had a highly positive impact on my learning journey. Despite starting with no prior experience, I've progressed significantly within the month and a half of taking virtual lessons. This is largely owed to the excellent tools and recommendations he provides. Blake masterfully breaks down concepts to ensure even beginners like myself can understand and follow along.

Blake is an outstanding musician and an exceptional instructor in drumming. Having been under his tutelage for a few months, I am inspired by his expertise and passion for the craft. Blake employs an effective teaching methodology, challenging me to make swift progress. His studio in N. Hollywood is noteworthy for its neatness, orderliness and conducive learning environment. Blake has also given me valuable pointers on drum equipment, tuning, approaches to practice and surmounting difficulties. He is patient, positive and cheering, making the entire learning experience enjoyable. I relish my weekly lessons with him and heartily recommend him to anyone seeking drum instruction.
