MEET CHRISTIAN
In May of 2020, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, with a Bachelor of Professional Services in Music Production.
I am an active drummer in the San Francisco area and have been playing professionally for 40 years in a variety of musical genres such as pop, funk, country, rock, metal, big-band and Christian contemporary. I have served on the worship teams at Golden Hills Church, The Rock Church (in Brentwood, California), Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church in Moraga, California and currently serving on the worship team at The BNC (Brentwood Neighborhood Church). I also appeared on “Good Morning Sacramento” with the Jessica Caylyn Band.
My 18 years of teaching experience has helped me become a member of the Vic Firth Education Team.
I have studied privately with John Xepoleas, Steve Bowman (Counting Crows), Rob Hart, Alan Hall, Mike Johnston and with Berklee Professors Rod Morgenstein, Jim Payne, Mark Walker and currently with Dave DiCenso.
Students are given opportunities to record studio quality performance videos to share on the various social media platforms with their family & friends. All lessons are video recorded and graded weekly so every aspiring drummer will know how they are progressing.
