A bit ABOUT ME

 

Hey! I'm Marc. I'm a musician that plays drums! I've been playing for well over 20 years, and I consistently strive to be a better player and teacher. I feel that the key to progress is daily practice rather than raw talent.

I’ve spent decades refining my playing and teaching skills and I have extensive playing experience as a freelancer in many original, event, and cover bands. I have also played exstensively in theatre shows at: Sun City theatre and the Carousel casino (Music Evolution), toured with Rocco Devilliers with his “Liberocco” theatre show, played “Stargaze” at The Soundstage in Midrand and toured throughout South Africa playing the “Eric Clapton - Slowhand” tribute show. I am proficient in Latin, Afro-Cuban, Jazz, Rock and Pop drumming styles. I have recorded with many artists both in Ireland and South Africa and feel at home on stage or in studio.

Some artists I’ve worked with:

Michael Lowman, Andy Roe, Rocco DeVilliersFloat Parade, Janie Bay, Eugene Jensen, Nic Dinnie, Cameron Bruce, Ziza Mhlongo, Justin Swart, Natalie Chapman, The Johnny Late Band, Peter Hoven, Melanie Lowe, Eva Morgan, Ramaine Barreiro-Lloyd, Krystle Temmerman, the Ragoo, Louis du Toit, Men of Mountains, Gangsterdam, CrashCarBurn, I believe in Giants, Dylan Pretorius.

TEACHING:

I started teaching shortly after completing full time study with my long time teacher and mentor, Andre Luke. I have maintained my teaching career from my home studio from 2006 until present. My background in music theory and piano study lends to a structured style of teaching where I focus on the basics and developing a strong ability to read music, thus developing a solid framework from which students can grow musically.

 Other Instruments:

 I also play guitar, piano, and bass guitar. From time to time I do freelance composition work for independent content creators.
