John Gurke Percussion Studio

DO YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THE DRUMS? 

• DO YOU WANT TO BE IN A BAND?

• DO YOU DREAM OF PLAYING LIKE BUDDY, BONHAM, RINGO OR PEART?

• DO YOU WANT TO MAKE DRUMLINE, ALL REGION BAND/ALL STATE WIND ENSEMBLE?

Now accepting students to begin studying drum/percussion lessons with a University of North Texas graduate, DCI member and certified percussion/band director of almost 20 years and an in demand clinician, adjudicator, composer, arranger, performing/recording artist. I offer extensive tutelage from beginners who have just expressed interest in drumming to advanced players that want to reach another level in their individual performance. 

• DO YOU WANT TO LEARN GROOVES, FILLS, AND CHOPS?

• DO YOU WANT TO LEARN THE ART OF RECORDING?

• DO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PASS THAT AUDITION, REDUCE STAGEFRIGHT AND MARKET YOURSELF AND/OR YOUR BAND TO GET THE GIG?

I have extensive performing, recording and touring experience and have my own professional studio fully equipped with two professional acoustic drum sets (Gretsch, DW), a Roland V-Drum set to learn programming, two concert snare drums for orchestral/rudimentary study, Yamaha 4.3 octave marimba (2 and 4 mallet study), full set of Ludwig timpani and an elaborate library of solo literature on the State of Texas UIL PML list for active members involved in their school’s band program.
