A little story about my own path from beginner to professional drummer!
I started playing drums at the age of 9. At the beginning of my studies, the focus was on classical percussion. I discovered jazz, rock and metal very soon after starting my studies, which are still my musical passion. After graduating from Kaustinen College of Music at the age of 19, I moved to Helsinki. In Helsinki I studied drumming at the Helsinki Pop/Jazz Conservatory and at the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
I have worked with numerous artists and bands such as Poets Of The Fall, For The Imperium, Paul Gilbert, John Patitucci, Andre Nieri, Grand Discovery, Saara Aalto, Mikael Gabriel, Kasmir, Redrama, Anna Abreu, Waltteri Torikka and Laura Voutilainen. I have also played drums in 3 seasons of the TV show PUTOUS.
I founded HAHTO & RAUHALA DRUM CAMP with my friend Kai Hahto in 2022.
I am an official TAMA, Sabian and Vic Firth artist.
For whom is individual mentoring suitable?
Are there level requirements for individual mentoring?
How can I benefit from personal coaching?
Face-to-face coaching via video or in person?
Why should you come to my private coaching?
Whether you are an amateur or a professional, my personal coaching will strengthen your skills in all important areas of drumming. In addition to teaching you how to play, you will also receive guidance and coaching on studio work, recording, performing and learning new material, all of which will certainly boost your confidence. Throughout my own career, I have learned the hard way and found that the basics are the bedrock on which our work is based. Regardless of the level of the players and the years of playing, there can be big gaps in the basics. In my opinion, the most important thing about practising is how we practise, not how much we practise. Why think about how long to practice, but rather focus on why and how to practice. It goes without saying that quantity matters, as long as you practice with quality and focus on the exercises.
