i've been a drummer since i was 8. i have been in rock bands, jazz bands, musical pit orchestras, etc.my most recent achievements are located in the marching band world. i have 8 seasons of independent groups across both Drum Corps International (DCI) and Winter Guard International (WGI). this includes world class experience in both, and a world class finalist group in WGI. i was in marching band every single year of high school, and was in my university's marching band as well. i also teach my own drumline and have given lessons before.getting started can be extremely confusing. this list is meant to simplify all of the options to only a few.remember than anybody can be a drummer if they want to be. good luck!
