Objective:
Matthias is a twenty year professional national touring and recording live and session drummer / entertainer
who offers private drum lessons in your home or his fully
equipped state of the art digital recording studio in the San Francisco / Oakland / Contra Costa area. I focus on
confidence, reading, syncopation, drum set theory, learning songs
and improvisation in a fun and relaxing environment surrounded inside
an unsurpassed top pro recording studio with dvd video and computer
sequencing / recording while we are head to head on two top of the
line drum sets! Learn from a successful working musician that is
in touch with music from all eras. I look forward to passing on
a mentorship that was given to me years ago.
Background:
While attending Miramonte High School in the 80's, his first band "CASTLE BLAK" enjoyed European hit status after being
signed to EMI Records. It was after hundreds of local shows and
countless studio session jobs in Los Angeles, where he joined forces
with the nation's leading era tribute company Perfect World Entertainment which led to a multitude of live performances with his Chicago based
band "The World Famous Afrodisiacs" which played live
in over 35 US states and several television appearances on The Jenny
Jones Show and MTV. A two year stint in Dallas saw live shows for/with
Microsoft, The Dallas Cowboys, The Commodores and capped off with
a private birthday bash for President George W. Bush at his home
in Crawford , TX.
