About Eric
Eric Ching is a jazz drummer and composer currently residing in Houston, TX. He plays music with a tremendous amount of purpose and is infinitely creative in the way he manages color and shape.
With his compositions, he aims to explore new territory while channeling the spirits of McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, and Kenny Garrett. His pieces all have a searching quality where he isn't quite sure what he's looking for, but he'll know when he's found it. He yearns for the unexpected and his songs gradually unfold like a Tarantino movie.
Eric grew up in the SF Bay Area where he studied with Akira Tana (Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, Dizzy Gillespie) and spent much of his time driving up to the city to go to jam sessions.
Then, he went to New York University for Music Education where he studied under Ron McClure (renowned jazz bassist) and Sean Statser (NYU Percussion).
Some of the people he has played with are Robbie Laws (award winning blues guitarist), George Colligan (renowned jazz pianist), Anna Crumley (Grammy winning vocalist), Reggie Houston (Fats Domino Band), Ben Rice (award winning blues guitarist), Jennifer Keith (jazz vocalist and Las Vegas headliner), Charlie Porter (Grammy winning trumpet player), Bob Stark (Grammy winning engineer), Josh Nelson (Natalie Cole, film/tv), Eric Reed (Wynton Marsalis, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones), Greg Goebel (renowned jazz pianist), and many more!

I cover all of the fundamentals of rhythm, melody, and harmony in a comprehensive step-by-step fashion. With a thorough knowledge of music theory and ear training, it raises your ceiling as a musician and composer so that you understand why every note functions the way that it does.
I also teach how to compose and write charts for the drums.
