About Me

I am an all-round musician and music teacher who is specialized in Tombak, Daf, Drums, Bendir & Darbuka.

I started playing Tombak & Daf around the age of 10, shortly followed by Drums, Bendir & Darbuka leading to a music teaching career in several music schools.

Besides teaching I have also played on numerous stages across the world from Persian concerts alongside Maestro Majid Derakhshani and Mohammad Motamedi to various Jazz, Blues, Rock, soul & funk concerts with bands such as The Deportees and Zanais, just to name a few.

In my younger years I also participated in several different competitive festivals where I had to chance to win several different awards.

My main motto as a teacher is to make learning fun, effective, tailored and affordable. This is why my lessons are lower priced, to ensure everyone has a chance to find their hidden talent and/or have fun while developing their music skills.

In the drum lessons you get lessons in the way that suits you best. There is room for everyone, for the absolute beginner to the advanced drummer, for everyone there is a nice way to get drum lessons. It does not matter how old you are, you are just welcome.

Every week you have half an hour of time * on which you are only busy with drumming.

You learn what you like, for one drummer that is playing with the same song for half an hour, the other drummer wants to learn 20 rims in 30 minutes, and so on. At Drumschool Arnhem it is especially important that you come to the drum lesson every week with pleasure. Because fun is the basis with which we really get to know the drum set.

* in consultation it is also possible to take lessons of 45 or 30 minutes every 2 weeks.

I teach in my studio at home (in my backyard) on Thursday (afternoon and evening), Friday (idem) and on Saturday afternoon. There is still some room for new students. This also has to do with the way I teach at home. Many students have lessons every two weeks or even every three weeks (only a few people every week). The learning frequency is determined by the student himself. I do not expect payment in advance, but for example that at the beginning of a new month the actual lessons from the previous month will be transferred (if you cancel more than 24 hours in advance, no tuition fees will be charged).
Lessons are given in all possible existing styles and, if desired, tailored to the taste of the student concerned.
The studio has two complete drum sets and various percussion instruments (congas, bongos, cowbells etc.), in addition to good professional recording equipment. On the internet (Dropbox) I have put a lot of play-along numbers in addition to pre-programmed technical exercises.
The pleasure of playing drums or percussion comes first, in addition to advancing in playing level and possible employability in bands.
Lessons are given individually to all levels; from absolute beginners to aspiring candidates for a conservatory education (in which the various (historical) drum techniques will be discussed extensively).
For many years I have been working as a percussion teacher at the Lindenberg Cultural Center in Nijmegen and at the Arnhems Conservatory (ArtEZ) alongside work as a freelancer (studio) musician.
