I've secretly wanted to learn how to play the drums since I was a child, but always felt intimidated or something. Then I met Sheri from Hit It Big Drum School (I'm 50-something now). There's just something special about Sheri...she is so encouraging and patient, and she made me feel at ease while teaching me the basics. Her enthusiasm for playing the drums - and for teaching - is inspiring, and fun to watch. I will be signing up for more lessons as I simply had so much fun with Sheri at her drum studio.

This was an amazing experience for me! Sheri creates such a comfortable space for all levels to grow and expand your skill no matter what level you are at. Her studio set up is fantastic! Such a beautiful space as well as being able to play your own kit while hearing her and seeing her stick movement. I loved it and want to go again!!!

My 10 year old son started playing drums with Sheri with no prior experience. He has learned so much since beginning his lessons. The studio is beautiful and easy to find. The classes are well paced and something my son really looks forward to each week. He is excited to learn songs that he knows and recognizes. Sheri is knowledgeable, approachable, and just an all around amazing music instructor.

I have known Sheri for almost my whole life and she has always been the most positive and joyous instructor I've ever had! Her facility is top of the line, extremely spacious, and nestled in a peaceful parcel of land with super cute animals to boot! She has a huge wealth of experience and can help drummers of all levels and ages to enhance their skills and become more confident performers. I would highly recommend seeing her infectious energy and passion for yourself!!

HIBD is not just a school but an experience for drummers of all walks of life and levels of experience. I have traveled all over the world, played with dozens of different bands and musicians and have been at many guitar centers. This studio is awe-inspiring and designed to be exactly the kind of place where aspiring drummers can grow. Sheri makes good on that by her encouraging and supportive teaching style and has multiple this many times over with new students she transforms. I have 17 years of experience and attended a Master Class with Zorro. This experience was revolutionary for me and has sculpted the way I now hold the sticks, practice fundamentals, and envision myself as someone who one day could be as good as the great drummers of our time. Don't wait! Whether you have never performed a single parradiddle or are in your 30th year as a drummer. There is a way to grow and improve in this place.

Sheri is so kind and bursting with joy! My grandson had his first drumming lesson with Sheri and loved every minute of it. I was so impressed with her patience. Her teaching techniques demonstrating some necessary fundamentals while have an absolute blast rocking out to some old rock and roll classic's. My grandson immediately asked for another session with Sheri. If you are looking for a positive musical experience, whether for your child or yourself, I highly recommend Sheri. She is amazing!!

Sheri is such a wonderful teacher, and I am incredibly grateful to have found her for my 7-year-old daughter. She is patient, fun, engaging, and genuinely tailors the lesson pace to where the student is in the moment. We have been taking lessons for three months now, and I am blown away by the progress my daughter has made in such a short time. This is the first extracurricular activity where my daughter actually asks to do more instead of ending early! You can really tell Sheri loves music, it emanates through her teaching and is completely infectious. Her studio space is also so thoughtful, polished, and inviting. Beyond the lessons, Sheri has helped us piece together equipment to make practicing at home much easier. She is just amazing at what she does and has been so great to us. She is welcoming to all ages, incredibly kind, and I cannot praise her enough. I highly recommend taking lessons with her if you are looking to start drumming!

Sister's on Drums is one of the finest drum studios ever built. I recently had the opportunity to tour the large, new, custom-designed facility, built lovingly atop a massive rock base and nestled in a rural farm setting straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. I sat down at one of the full-size Gretsch drum kits as Sheri, a master musician of several instruments and lead drum instructor, cued up several classic rock drum songs. While I did my best to match one of my heroes, Ian Paice (Deep Purple), Sheri patiently broke down how to play the song. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced drummer, this studio should be on your bucket list for sure.

Sheri is such a fun, positive and energetic teacher! My son loves her! She is very patient and easy to work with. She teaches out of a beautiful studio and offers several opportunities for students to perform each year. We are very grateful we found her!

Sheri is one of those special teachers that you come across once or twice in a lifetime. Both her background in music and formal education shine as she guides students through each class with joy. Her ability to mix fun, technical knowledge, and straightforward music education on day one of class had my jaw on the floor. I feel extremely lucky that my son takes classes with her, and am very thankful she’s kind enough to answer all my musical questions as he learns. lol Thanks Sheri!

"Drumming with Sheri is the highlight of every week. Stepping into her studio is like entering a magical wonderland of good music and student snacks lit by the sunshine she exudes. - Skylar M.
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.
