Welcome to Roman's drumset and percussion website. This site is primarily a companion resource provided for my private studio drum lesson students but everybody is welcome. I am a gigging professional drummer and I teach private studio drum lessons at Beaver's Band Box (Oracle & Magee) in Tucson, Arizona. If you are interested in taking drum lessons check out the ABOUT ROMAN link above for information regarding me and the LESSONS links for information about my teaching approach, method, available lessons times, lesson policies and contact information. I am working on an ONLINE LESSONS section as an additional benifit for my private drum lesson students.
