Drum lessons for all styles and levels from a KonCon graduate!

Hi! I'm Marcello and I come from Italy. I've been playing the drums for more than half of my life and a few years ago I moved to the Netherlands to pursue a music education and to establish myself in The Hague as a professional musician and teacher. I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire and minored in classical percussion in the summer of 2022 and I am currently studying drums and composition in the Master programme.
I usually focus on the technical aspects of music, but the lesson plan will vary according to the student's needs. We can get as serious about playing as you wish! So I advise you to have an idea of what you want to play but, if that's not the case, I'll be happy to share my passion and my favourite artists with you!

About Me

I was born in Bari, Italy. Around age ten I discovered my passion for music and I showed it by strumming a guitar or listening to rock music. Soon I inherited my uncle’s vintage drum set and I just fell in love with the instrument.
During my teenage years until my twenties I had several teachers on the drums, piano and I was also taught theory. Meanwhile I learned about jazz and I decided I wanted to be part of the local scene and so I started attending combo classes and later I joined the conservatoire in Bari. After I dropped out I decided I wanted to have the best education in the subject I could, so thank to a few acquaintances I learned about The Hague and its tradition in jazz education; that is where I started my bachelor.
As a teacher I like to learn how to deal with my pupils lesson by lesson and, though I have some "musts" in what concepts I think are important to impart on the instrument, my approach to each person differs every time, based on whom I'm teaching.
Even though I'm mostly busy with jazz and contemporary music, I still love rock music and especially classic stuff from the Sixties and Seventies and that's what I love to relate to mostly in my teaching.

Drum lessons, (technique and songs), beginners to advanced
Lesson is given on location or at home (if you have a drum kit), and your first lesson is always free, because you have to be able to determine if you like drumming and you want me as a teacher. . Drum lessons (giving) is always fun and educational. You learn in addition to technique (the correct (sitting) posture, stick control and the 'rudiments' basic patterns such as the familiar 'roffel' (double-stroke-roll) and the 'paradiddle' - also the importance of counting, dynamics, reading notes and timing After all, you will all need them if you want to continue (with a band or just for yourself). - How long does it take before I become a drummer? Two answers: a few hours, and a lifetime. You will see that you can play nice things in no time, but also that top drummers in the world, such as Phil Collins, Cesar Zuiderwijk, Dave Lombardo or Simon Phillips, learn new things every day (and happy). - Am I too old to start? You're never too old, - Do I have a sense of rhythm? You can learn rhythm feeling. I have NOT been able to teach anyone. - Is there a best drummer in the world? It is about fun, and there is no podium or medal, only thousands of colleagues who are doing very well. - Is drumming only something for men? I do not think so! Take a look at Sheila E. or Cindy Blackman;)
