About Jason
I’m Jason, and I am particularly interested in helping the drummer who already knows enough to play songs but wants to sound more convincing. You may not need twenty more rudiments immediately. You may need to hear why your backbeat disappears, why your hi-hat dominates the groove, or why your kick starts pushing the tempo when the music becomes exciting.
I pay a lot of attention to the relationship between parts of the kit. A groove can technically be correct and still feel uncomfortable because everything is competing for attention. I want you to learn to hear the drums as several voices with different jobs. Once you understand which voice should lead and which should support, even simple beats begin sounding much more intentional.
I also like giving students constraints. Fewer drums. Fewer notes. One dynamic. One subdivision. Restrictions expose control. Once you can make something musical with very little material, adding more becomes much easier.
If what you really want is not to become “the drummer who can play the most,” but the drummer who can sit behind a simple groove and make everybody else feel comfortable playing with it, my approach will make sense to you.

If you can play plenty of beats but still listen back to yourself and think, “Why doesn’t this sound like the recording?”, the answer may have very little to do with learning more notes. One of the first things we can work on is dynamic hierarchy. In many grooves, every part of the kit should not have equal weight. We may deliberately play the snare as the loudest voice, the kick slightly underneath it, and the hi-hat much lighter. Then we reverse the hierarchy so you can hear how dramatically the groove changes. This teaches you to control the balance of the kit instead of hitting everything at one default volume.
For coordination, I like reducing a groove before making it harder. Suppose you are struggling with a pattern involving kick, snare, hi-hat, and ghost notes. We might first remove the hi-hat entirely and make the kick-snare relationship feel solid. Then the hi-hat comes back. Then ghost notes return one at a time. If the groove suddenly becomes unstable after we add one layer, we have identified the layer that actually needs work. You do not need to practice four limbs badly when only one relationship is creating the problem.
We will also work on what I call the subdivision engine. Instead of memorizing a strung-together sequence of hits, you learn to feel the continuous grid underneath the groove. Your hands or voice may quietly count sixteenth notes while only certain parts of that grid are actually played. Once that internal grid is stable, syncopated kicks and offbeat accents stop feeling like random events. You know exactly where they belong because you can feel the spaces between them.
Fills will be treated as part of the groove rather than an opportunity to abandon it. Sometimes I will give you a restriction such as using only the snare and one tom, or only four notes, and ask you to create several different fills from that limited material. This forces you to think about placement, dynamics, and phrasing instead of assuming a better fill means a busier fill. If four notes placed well sound better than sixteen notes rushed into the bar, the four notes win.

Watching Victor learn, I liked the balance of fun and focus. Skills stuck because practice was guided well. Jason is excellent.
Avery was a dedicated music student. He showed up prepared, practiced between lessons, and improved steadily in technique and confidence. I recommend Jason as a tutor.
Julian was a great music student. Always prepared, practiced between lessons, and made real progress on technique and confidence. I recommend Jason as a tutor.
Jason worked with me on my macroeconomics course, specifically inflation and monetary policy, where I could define terms fine but couldn't connect why the Fed would actually raise rates in a given scenario. He'd give me a news headline and make me guess the policy response before we opened the textbook. My guesses were off constantly for the first few weeks. Eventually the reasoning started coming to me first instead of the vocabulary. He also fixed a mixed-up graph on an old homework set without turning it into a lecture.
Jason helped me get through my intro psych stats unit, mostly hypothesis testing, where I could pick the right test if you told me which one but froze completely when starting from scratch. He'd make me explain what result would actually surprise me before touching any formula. I kept mixing up null and alternative for way longer than I'd like. It took a good chunk of the term to feel automatic. He also cleared up a p-value question I'd flubbed on a quiz over text.
