Experienced tutor in Drum in Phoenix, Bucket offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Bucket is a wonderful teacher! He has been working with my son for almost 2 years now on drum set in all genres as well as helping him reach his goal of making drumline in marching band. He is positive and encouraging and has great energy! My son has learned so much skill wise, but also has become more confident as a person. He really cares about creating a well rounded drummer and helping his students achieve their goals. I highly recommend Bucket as a drum teacher! We feel lucky to have found him!

Bucket, was my Captain of Dos Pueblos High School Drum Core. He was also my Captain of Santa Barbara Dolls Drum Core. We were not only good, but we were the best. One year we performed in Los Angeles, as the Santa Barbara Dolls Drum Core, and not just won, but scored a 99.8 %.

Bucket, was always patient, calm, but persistent to get the best out of each one of us. Not only could he write cadences, but he could design the best movements of the snare line, Quads, and Base Drums. Drums sticks tricks, back sticking, base drums walking backwards, keeping it really fun for the player and the crowd, but with a disciplined military overall theme.

There is only one musician better than Bucket, and that was his Mentor, and Band Director, Dr. Ike Jenkins, who brought out the best in him.

I’ve travelled all over the world playing drums myself with bands, but still haven’t met anyone as talent as Emanuel “Bucket” Baker.

Yes, a great man, with a great heart, who only wants the best from you, and while spend hours and hours to make sure your the best.

Bucket worked with our daughter for several years. His talent and skills helped to develop her music appreciation. But it was his mentorship that took this time to the next level. It's been awhile since she took lessons, but she still refers to Bucket as a second father. I'm so glad that they made this connection. It will be a relationship that will last a lifetime. If you have the desire to learn percussion, Bucket is your guy.

An Amazing Generous Talent, who can break down any groove. Bucket will help you hear it, feel it, and play it!!

I would not play drums if not for this man. And, it was and always be about the groove...
