Our Drumming Story
Welcome! I'm Chris Barker, I've been passionate about drumming for 25 years. My journey through the drum community taken me from drumlines and marching bands to touring bands and studio recordings. With my unique approach to teaching, I aim to inspire and elevate my students beyond the typical drum lessons. Join me in exploring the rhythm and creativity that drumming has to offer!
What makes my approach different?
-
I teach with purpose.
Drumming isn’t just about hitting things in time. It’s about building confidence, learning patience, and finding your voice. My students aren’t just better drummers—they’re better humans. -
I break it down.
Using my signature method—colorful rhythm blocks, clear visuals, and real-world analogies—I make complex patterns simple and fun to learn. No boring drills. No confusion. Just clarity and growth. -
I care about my students like family.
I’m a father, a veteran, and a mentor. My studio is a safe place to grow, fail, laugh, and push your limits. Whether you’re 6 or 60, we’re in this together. -
We stick together.
That’s more than a slogan. It’s the core of everything I teach. When you join Discipleship Drumming, you join a community that builds each other up—on and off the kit.
