THE DRUM SHED / TOM MCCARTHY

Drummer for hire, I sub with bands on occasion, worked in all popular genre, country, rock, pop, funk, R&B, horn bands, tribute bands. I am always looking to work with creative like minded musicians. Nowadays I primarily write, record, teach and produce drum tracks and percussion from my home studio in Tempe, AZ.  I teach (and use) the  JP Bouvet Method which engages the use of sticking and rudiments into rhythmic / melodic patterns that sound fun and musical, allowing you to create with flow and improvisation. I provide lessons that prepare to hand you off to work on these online systems you continue at your own pace. Follow up lessons should you get stuck online, and prefer one on one, are offered. I also teach basic chart notation,  sticking, rudiments and grooves you need to just get you playing along with songs.  I also assist with audition prep, accompaniment with other musicians (bass, guitar, keys).  Give me a call if I can help with your recording project, event or instruction. (480) 283-3205. Check back often as I will be updating the site more frequently. I will be adding audio tracks and samples from the studio here in month of February Thank You !
