About Jeffrey
Hi! My name is Jeffrey Thornton and I have been a drummer/percussionist going on 38 years now. I've played for and been a part of a wide range of bands and ensembles during my ongoing musical career. And have had the opportunity to partake in numerous studio recording sessions. Coupled with an extensive amount of professional touring experience. Across the U.S. from (1997-2007). I also have given and taught private lessons off and on. Through my own personal instructional teaching company. Established in 2010 called (The) Drum Addict. I teach and perform a plethora of styles and genres of music. From concert to symphonic and marching band. Country to gospel. Pop to rap. Jazz to latin. Reggae. Hard rock. Classic rock. Alternative. Grunge. Punk. Metal. And just about any and everything inbetween. My teaching focuses on my student's strengths and reasons for learning. I ensure each of my student's are taught from a personalized curriculum. That will bring them closer to their musical goals. While emphasizing the fundamentals that will prepare and enrich them for life. I believe I can encourage and engage any curious or dedicated young or older student. With my eclectic cornucopia of musical experience and perspectives. A pupil taught under my tutelage will learn to become proficient with practice/patience and time in the following.
