Musician

It was in the 4th grade that are started taking up an instrument. My parents were hoping that I would play the saxophone, but when I attended the band interest night at my school, my eyes lit up when they demonstrated the snare drum. From that moment on, I was officially a drummer.

I love playing the drums and especially playing them through different and unique opportunities, as you’ll notice my experiences below.

If you are producing a musical and looking for a drum set player, please feel free to contact at michaelmelvin89@gmail.com.

I am also available to provide basic snare drum lessons for beginners and to coach marching bands.
