Drums, Percussion | Guilderland

Hello! I’m Stephen (or Steve) and I’ve been playing drums since I was 3 years old. Studying under Rocky Petrocelli, he taught me everything I needed to know to be a working/gigging drummer. I graduated from The College of Saint Rose with a degree in music industry and percussion. My three most important things about drumming are consistency with tempo, versatility/knowledge in many different styles, and being comfortable with improvisation. Drumming is my passion and I am really excited to teach new students.

“Music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.”
