Since he was 8 years old, Sam has been drumming away trying not to disturb his neighbors. Today, he is the drummer and percussionist for Juno Award-winning Canadian band the Paperboys, who tour regularly across North America and Europe. A proud endorser of Istanbul Agop Cymbals and Protection Racket Drum Cases, Sam also performs with local bands –including Cordaviva and the Eli Rosenblatt Band — as well as in musical theatre productions.
Sam enjoys teaching students of all ages and abilities, focusing on important developmental concepts like technique and rudiments while making lessons fun. Students will learn what they want to learn without missing out on the essentials.
Whether it’s drum set or Latin and Brazilian percussion, Sam is a passionate teacher who will help you to reach your musical goals.
My daughter started the drums less than a year ago at Kaleidoscope School of Music. This program has provided her so much joy between lessons with Sam and participating in the Rock program that Charles leads. We look forward to our youngest daughter beginning guitar lessons at Kaleidoscope this fall. I can't say enough about the school and the confidence I've seen build with in my daughter as she progresses through the program

Sam is a great drum teacher. Since I am a beginner adult drum student he is a very patient, excellent teacher. He helped me learn some standard beats right away which boosted my confidence. He always combined fun with technique. Highly recommended teacher.

Sam's teaching has helped me go from just struggling to keep a beat to incorporating new techniques and styles into my playing in only a couple months. He's a versatile drummer and great about teaching me what I want to learn while keeping focus on the finer, technical aspects, and keeping it interesting. Lessons are always fun and comfortable and his teaching studio set up is great. Highly recommended teacher.

I've been taking 1 hour lessons for a couple of months now. Was at a beginner level when we started and I've drastically improved in both theory and technique. So far we've mainly focused on jazz, but he's definitely comfortable in other genres, especially Latin. Would highly recommend!
