Matt Collins

Percussion

Matthew’s love for music began as a youth while attending church, where he first learned how to play percussion as part of the praise and worship band. His musical path eventually led him to study percussion under drum instructors Ken Michaels, Larue Larry and Jim Kolacek where he received intensive drum set instruction.
Matthew has over 20 years of experience performing and recording music with local and regional bands. He has also had the opportunity to perform at numerous local music festivals and private events.
Matthew’s teaching style consists of teaching proper drum set techniques mixed with rudimental training, all the while maintaining a fun and positive atmosphere.
