Gina Knight (drummer, percussionist, educator, and all around fun gal) attributes her proficiency to years and years of playing experience, but more importantly to wonderfully giving teachers. “I really enjoy teaching, and it makes me feel great if I can demonstrate something that makes a percussionist play something better, faster, or with greater ease. My mission is to help drummers become more well rounded, confident players, no matter what their skill level is now.” Gina is a passionate performer, and teaches from a working drummer's point of view. "I give drummers the building blocks to not only get the gig, but to be proficient on the gig."
