Good day, and thanks for stopping by! A little about me... I've been playing drums since 1985 and guitar since 1989. And I've been teaching drums and producing the drum lesson podcast drumcast.tv since 2006. I've played with many bands over the years. Click here to see the list.

My approach to music is based on constant refinement of both the basics and more advanced techniques. I believe it's important to approach music and our skills with humility, realizing there will always be something more to learn and experience. That’s one of the things that makes it fun! It's my hope that if you study music, you will encounter many things that inspire you. And I hope you can use your gifts and talents to inspire others, too!

God bless,
Darren Matthes
