About Andres
I’m Andres, and I want you to hear a drum part as something that belongs inside a song. A pattern can be correct on paper and still feel unsettled. In a lesson, I might ask us to reduce the number of notes, listen to the bass line, and try the groove again at two different volumes. That comparison can reveal more than adding another fill. We will make room for technical detail, but I will keep bringing it back to the question of what a listener hears and what the other musicians would need from the part.
I will be specific about progress, including when it is incomplete. If your hands stayed steady for three bars before the extra kick disturbed them, those three bars tell us something useful. We can examine what changed at the fourth bar instead of dismissing the whole attempt. When several instructions compete for your attention, we will simplify the pattern or temporarily remove one limb. That gives you a clear success to understand and build on. You do not need to disguise a mistake or rush to prove that you can play the exercise at its final speed.
The conversation will change with your experience and interests. With a young child, a musical answer might be two well-placed sounds and a deliberate pause. With a teenager, we might compare how two fills change the approach to a chorus. With an adult beginner or returning drummer, we can make unfamiliar coordination understandable without assuming that rhythmic confidence should already be there. More experienced players can bring detailed questions about feel, dynamics and placement. Across those starting points, I want you to leave knowing what you were trying to hear and how to set up a useful experiment when you practice on your own.

We will begin with the part of a groove that makes you want to move, even if you have never held a pair of sticks. A simple pulse on one surface can become a complete musical task: play along with a track, listen for the backbeat, and leave enough space to hear where your notes land. Before building a busy pattern, we will make its essential relationship clear. For example, you can keep the hi-hat pulse even while the snare supplies two dependable landmarks. Adding the bass drum then has a purpose: it changes the feel of a groove you can already hear, rather than becoming another limb instruction to memorize.
If a new bass-drum note makes your hi-hat hurry or disappear, we will find the beat where those jobs interfere. You might keep a quiet spoken subdivision going, play the existing hand pattern, then add the foot only at that point in a short repeating bar. We will listen for whether the hand changes when the foot enters. This reveals the unwanted connection between the movements, so we can work on that connection directly. A new student can use this with one extra bass-drum stroke, an intermediate drummer with syncopation, and an advanced player with a displaced accent or a more demanding coordination pattern. We will return it to a song as soon as the relationship becomes clearer.
Fills will include the landing, not just the interesting notes before it. We might begin with one last-beat fill and the first two beats of the next groove, so re-entry becomes part of what you practise. Later, a metronome can leave a short gap while you carry the pulse yourself; when it returns, it gives us feedback about whether the fill changed your sense of time. Children can explore this through short call-and-response rhythms, teenagers through the energy and shape of a chosen track, and adults or returning players through grooves they want to feel comfortable playing again. Your practice plan will identify one coordination target and one musical context, with enough repetition to learn and enough listening to know what is improving.

Perfect! Andres makes drum lessons patient and practical, with clear explanations that are easy to apply at the kit. I especially appreciated the focused exercises and useful takeaways after each lesson. I would gladly book again.

Dylan made steady gains without burning out. Nerves eased as skills got more reliable. I'd point anyone serious toward Andres.
Nolan was a dedicated music student. He showed up prepared, practiced between lessons, and improved steadily in technique and confidence. I recommend Andres as a tutor.
Andres tutored me through a linear algebra unit on eigenvalues, where I could grind through the characteristic polynomial but had no real sense of what an eigenvector was doing geometrically. Before any computation, he'd have me sketch what direction a vector might stretch toward under the transformation. I guessed wrong basically every time for the first couple weeks. Eventually the pattern started showing up before the math did. He also caught an arithmetic slip on an old exam that I'd assumed was a conceptual error.
