Created By
Phil PerkinsAbout the Author
Whether young or old, slow or fast, beginner or
advanced, ALL students receive the same
individual, enthusiastic instruction when
attending a private lesson with Phil Perkins, drum
instructor, author, clinician, and performer.
Raised in Richmond, Virginia, Phil began playing
the snare drum at age eleven, and by the time he
finished high school he had.played with a variety
of local organizations from the youth symphony
to regular weekend work with a rock group. Then.
after attending one year at the Virginia
Commonwealth University, Phil transferred to the
University of Cincinnati, where, during the next
four years, he participated in all the usual music
activities ranging from opera to percussion
ensemble, as well as many local gigs, including
extra percussion with the Cincinnati Symphony
Orchestra
After his formal training was completed, three
years of "serving dues” on the road followed while
working with many lounge and show groups, as
well as a concert attraction playing many of the
southern and midwestern colleges. During all this
time whether at club or concert engagements,
Phil has played drums or percussion for such
names as: Jack Jones, Phyllis Diller, Milton Berle,
Shirley Maclaine, the Mills Brothers, Mimi Hines,
Florence Henderson, John Davidson, Leslie
Uggams, Al Martino, Diahann Caroll, and Dave
Brubeck (percussion on the Gates of Justice
album) and many others,
Now, after working and watching his many
students struggle to advance their playing, Phil
has devised on his own many NEW, CREATIVE
ideas to help make learning rhythm more easy
and fun for the average student. The future? More
students, more books, and many more HAPPY
DAYS making music.
