About Me
With over twenty years of drumming/percussion experience, Bobby has an extensive background covering a wide range of styles of drumming. As a touring professional drummer and musical director, performing all across the United States and in over a dozen other countries, he mastered the combination of utilizing technical ability with creative expressiveness to perform at the highest level, in front of audiences of over ten thousand people. Before attending music school, Bobby was a state championship drumline tenor, where he developed his precision and technique, all while performing in several bands of many genres. Eventually, this led to pursuing music at the highest level, moving across the county to the center of the music industry in Los Angeles California, where he learned from some of the best drummers in the business.
Soon after moving to LA, his skills were then put to the test, drumming, producing, and directing for multiple artists and bands. By 20 years old, he had produced and drummed on multiple music videos that accumulated tens-of-millions of views and was the drummer and musical director for Christina Grimmie; the former #1 subscribed musical artist on YouTube, finalist on “The Voice” and opening act for several Top 10 Billboard artists.
Bobby’s objective as an instructor is to give his students an enjoyable experience in learning the drums, with the goal that he can pass on his knowledge and skills so that his students may have the ability to perform whichever style of music he/she enjoys the most, including Pop, Rock, Funk, Jazz, Gospel, Orchestral, Concert Percussion, Drumline, and many more!
