Ready to rock out?

If you’re wanting to play drums, you’ve found the right place. I teach all ages from all walks of life – whether you’re a second-grader or an engineer at Google. From Arctic Monkeys to RHCP to Bruno Mars to Led Zeppelin, I’m here to help you drum to your favorite songs. I’ll work with you on your hand and foot technique, as well as teaching you how to read drum set notation and practice effectively. Our lessons together are a great supplement to school music programs or as a stand-alone.

"Sheri, Is a lot of fun to work with. Her positive attitude on life flows from her which then helps others to have the same feelings. She is very encouraging and thoughtful of others needs. Her talents in music are unmeasurable."  - Dan R. 

I love what I do.

I'm Sheri and I love to teach drums! I've been teaching for over 25 years and have a Master's in Music Education. What makes me most excited about my business is watching my students improve in their drumming skills week to week. Seeing that big smile on a student's face when something finally clicks, totally makes my day! I also love the variety of people I get to work with who all share a passion for drumming. Little kids, big kids, dads, moms, retired engineers, Stanford professors, high-tech employees, and many more have been a part of the Hit It Big Drum School family. Every day is different and every lesson keeps me on my toes. That's what makes my job the best job in the world!

​"Sheri is the highest caliber teacher that I have found. She is teaching my daughter drums and basically plays everything else. She is upbeat and positive, non threatening, hard working and motivating. She was a high school/middle band teacher so knows how to augment my child's band practices. We love Sheri and are so fortunate to have found her!"   - Mary B.
