About
My expertise in drumming and education sets me apart from most instructors, due to my passion and extensive experience in the industry. As a professional drummer for the last ten years, I have performed at all levels and understand the necessary skills required for each stage. I tailor my teaching to each individual student's goals, whether it's guiding beginners on what to practice, helping intermediate students with their school band music or jamming, or assisting advanced amateurs with auditions, gigs, or recitals.

I also aid professional players in reigniting their inspiration, sharpening particular skills, and preparing for studio sessions, tours, or concert/arena performances. I even act as a career coach to help navigate the challenging business and financial side of the music industry. Despite being an active live performer and studio musician, I find it more fulfilling to work one-on-one with students, breaking down drumming fundamentals and seeing their long-term goals become a reality.

For the past few weeks, my 13-year-old has been receiving online drumming lessons from Zhach and there's only one word that can describe my feelings - AMAZING! I feel incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon Zhach on CrackerJack. While my son has been self-taught for over a year now and has even been accepted into jazz band and advanced band class in middle school, I knew that he needed something more. He needed personalized instruction to perfect the basics and really find his groove. Thanks to Zhach's investment, we are now on the right path! Zhach is an excellent teacher who is extremely passionate about drumming. He is also flexible and offers various options to work with your schedule and budget.

Though the journey has just begun, his authentic ardor for witnessing progress resonates remarkably.

Zhach is an absolutely fantastic drum teacher! Despite wanting to play the drums for as long as I can remember, I was always too intimidated to try. However, upon gaining the courage to look for a teacher, I stumbled upon Zhach - and I couldn't have found anyone better! At 33 years old, I was a bit uncertain about beginning my drumming journey, but he was incredibly patient with me and offered constant encouragement. After only a few lessons, I was amazed at how much I had learned! Zhach's boundless knowledge and positive energy make him the ideal teacher. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him - and I guarantee you'll struggle to find someone better. Simply put, Zhach is the best!
