I have had an absolute blast learning to play drums with Sheldon. I played piano through ARCT through the RCM over 20 years ago and wanted to pick up and challenge myself with a new instrument. I had never even touched a drum stick when I started. Within 1 month, Sheldon had me jamming to Coldplay and The Beatles!! Sheldon has a unique way of teaching drums and his passion is infectious. No matter how old you are, Sheldon has a unique way of sharing his skills and passion with you. Highly recommend!!

We love Sheldon as a drum teacher! My son has been taking lessons with Sheldon for over 2 years, and his skill level has increased an incredible amount in this time. Prior to the pandemic, our lessons were in person and Sheldon was on time and professional. Post-pandemic, lessons have been virtual, and they have been seamless. Sheldon's set up for remote teaching is perfect. Sheldon is fun, cool, and a great teacher for various drum musical styles.

Not only is Sheldon super friendly and encouraging to my son, he also inspires him on the drums with music he enjoys. Sheldon teaches with his own drum kit, which may not seem like a big deal but we've had other teachers who didn't and it took our son much longer to learn. My son caught on quickly with Sheldon. He's always on time and has great communication with my son and myself (the parent)
He's gone above and beyond on several different occasions. I highly recommend Sheldon as a drum teacher!

Session Musician
I am no stranger to the stage. I've performed over 400 shows at venues including The Commodore Ballroom, The Rickshaw Theatre, Tidemark Theatre, and opened for bands such as Five Alarm Funk, Bif Naked, Too Many Zooz, and Yukon Blonde with my former band Raincity. I have been performing in bands since I was twelve years old and continue to grow roots in the Vancouver music scene.
In the studio I bring a calm and patient energy, with a sharp focus on giving the song what it needs. Like a chameleon to groove, I can blend styles and play genres including Rock, Pop, Funk, Punk, Jazz, Blues, Reggae and more!
