My first teacher was Chris Doman. but he had to go to college,so his place in history was short lived. His uncle was my next and most influentual teacher his name is Doug Doman;to this day, Doug is a great drummer. He was always about rudements, and timing, and posture. Chris Ceja also taught me for a short period. Everything else I figured out on my own.
