“Bettencourt Drumming”
I AM TEACHING ALL LESSONS REMOTELY for students all over the country!
Lessons are $40.00 per half hour, $55.00 for 45 minutes, or $65.00 per hour.
Currently, I teach 41 students each week. I am only available for remote lessons.
I have 53 years of drumming experience, most as a professional. I love playing, but my passion is teaching others which I have been doing for the past 37 years. I am great with kids, and I have taught many adults. I have numerous students who developed into pro drummers.
My first 6 years drumming, I studied with a member of the San Francisco Symphony who was also the house drummer at Bimbos in SF. Under his tutelage I developed a mastery of classical drums while also gaining an understanding of the modern approach to the drum set. I have had the honor to play with some top-notch musicians over the years.
My teaching method includes:
- Reading all levels in both snare drum and full drum set
- Focused snare drum and sticking technique
- Focused drum set and feet techniques
- How to groove
- Dynamics
- Fills, posture and relaxation techniques for greater speed and endurance
-Now teaching GADDIMENTS, The new book by legendary Steve Gadd. (In addition to many other great books)
All levels are welcome and all styles are covered - rock, jazz, funk, swing, Afro Cuban, reggae, fusion, ska and more -- just ask!
Professional experience includes drumming with The Square Roots, The Road Hogs, The Room Shakers, The Gravity, and many others.
There has to be a future of great drummers! Without teachers, there aren't students! I love helping to create future great drummers!
