I'm Alec! I live and work at my studio in Pasadena, CA as an engineer and drummer. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Percussion Performance from CSU Long Beach in 2019, studying under Ted Atkatz (CSO). I have privately studied and played drums since the age of 4 and traveled the state performing with my father, a bass player, until I graduated high school and went off to study music.
In addition to my degree, I played drum set and timpani with the world famous Blue Devils B 2014-16, winning 2 world championships and 2 best percussion titles, and later ran live sound for The Blue Devils.
I have been teaching for around 3 years and have specialized in ages 7-10 for most of that time, helping our youngest find the joys of music and self-improvement through practice and patience.
Any age, any skill level, I'm confident I can get you where you want to go in your drumming journey!
