Daniel W.

With over 30 years of experience as a drummer and percussionist, I bring passion, skill, and versatility to every performance and lesson. I began playing drums at the age of 5 and have since performed across the country in multiple states, from intimate settings to large stages, including McCormick Place, for crowds of 1000+ people and alongside recording gospel artists. I am well-versed in a wide range of styles—gospel, pop, country, rock, punk, jazz, blues, and soul—and have played in diverse bands spanning many genres. My teaching and playing specialties include rudiments and creative fills, helping students not only master technique but also develop their own unique sound and confidence on the kit. Whether on stage, in the studio, or in the classroom, my goal is to inspire the next generation of drummers with the same love for rhythm that has carried me through three decades of music.
