I didnt have too many teachers but I was lucky to have the chance to study with the great Jeffrey Boudreaux!

Drumming means to me:
Everything, job and hobby in one
Advice for up and coming drummers:
I think besides having a good teacher it's really important to have a vision of how you want to sound like in the future and being aware of how you reach that certain point whether it's a musical or a technical question or both.
