About
With over 25 years of experience teaching and playing the drums, I have played in both local and international gigs and tours, studio work, and all styles of music. I attended Anton Bruckner University, where I received a degree in performance and teaching drums. I provide lessons for a variety of styles, including rock, pop, funk, jazz, soul, reggae, hiphop, salsa, afro Cuban, classical, and rudimental drumming. I have worked with kids, teenagers, and adults in multiple music institutions and given masterclasses around the world, including the USA. I am dedicated and passionate about teaching, using a positive attitude and a teaching concept that fits each student. I provide sheet music, music books, playalongs, mp3s, and more.
I offer lessons in my Brooklyn studio or in your home. Please contact me with any questions. Along with teaching, I am an active player on the NYC music scene, regularly performing with renowned musicians such as Milo Z, Assaf Kehati, Joel Frahm, Joe Alterman, Dan Lipsitz, and James Cammack.
I have a wealth of materials on topics such as stick control, various styles of music, rudiments, snare drum technique, grooves, fills, and more. Seeing my students progress and how music enriches their lives is most rewarding.

A few months ago, my son found out about Peter through a school friend and began taking drum lessons. Although I am not musically inclined, I can hear a noticeable improvement in my son's playing each week. Additionally, it brings me joy to see him come home from each lesson with a huge grin on his face. Peter is a kind and empathetic individual who takes the time to fully answer my son's drum-related inquiries.

Before I began working with Peter, I was a complete novice in drumming. However, he demonstrated great patience with me and exhibited vast knowledge and skill in the subject matter. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to learn the drums.

Having already attended a few drum lessons with Peter, I can confidently say that it was an amazing experience! He has exceptional drumming skills, displays abundant compassion for novices, and provides insightful suggestions on how to enhance my progress while practicing at home. His classes are highly organized, and I sense tremendous improvement with every session.
