Whether it's a recording session on drum kit, a commissioned percussion piece, or teaching your drumline, Adam would love to connect and figure out a plan to work together!
Let's work together
I can offer a variety of services, but here are some example projects that I can take on:
-
Marching arts education and/or design (hire me to teach or write for your marching band or indoor group's percussion)
-
Commissioned composition (can be for any number of performers, you will receive pdf files for sheet music and a MIDI realization of the piece)
-
Commissioned recorded music (ex. film/video game score, remote session work, anything that involves recording myself as a performer)
-
Live performance (hire me as a percussion/drum set performer)
-
Private lessons (One-off or reoccurring lessons on either a singular instrument or a variety of percussion instruments, in-person lessons in the central Kentucky area, available for Zoom lessons)
