Isaac
Drum Coach
- Drums
Isaac teaches drums at KGMA. He has been drumming for 8 years, is self-taught on traditional Chinese drums and drum set, and is pursuing a Diploma in Sonic Arts. He has played live shows and competitions, in concert halls and on stage, and is part of Hedonism, PARASOCIAL, and Romeo Killed Juliet.
He creates backing tracks with a click, and has experience with digital audio workstations (DAWs), recording-studio mixing and mastering for post-production, and live sound engineering.
“Everyone learns differently. One might be good at high tempo energy beats; the other might be better at rudimentary foundations. But at the end of the day, the main goal of music is to have fun and be expressive.”

How he teaches
- Builds on what the student is already proficient in, and improves technique and feel where their interests and strengths are
- For a total beginner: stick control, placement, posture, basic grooves, rudiments and fills
- Encourages students to create their own grooves and fills, not only follow sheet music
- Wants students to enjoy drums the way he did: high-tempo techniques, rudiments at the tempo they want, or playing to express themselves
