Based in Lakewood,O

 Tim Lane Stays busy teaching drum lessons around town, mainly at VANCE MUSIC STUDIOSin Lakewood. Tim enjoys sharing music with kids very much. Being a teacher is a great way to always learn more ways to diversify with percussion, on top of keeping solid with the basics like Time Keeping, Form, Rudiments, etc.

Timothy Lane

Timothy Lane, born in Lorain Ohio, 11/11/1971. Started to have interest in drums at the age of 6. Then I was influenced by Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Golden Earring, Heart, and the Hello People.The Utopia album called RA, that one put the drumming idea into focus. I knew that someday I would play. But that someday did not come until 1985, when I was 14 years old. Harry Damas taught me how to Read and play along with him as he accompanied the lesson with Piano. This was a great experience for me to play along with someone that could really PLAY ! Harry Damas was a jazz player that taught me jazz independence, and diddles galore !
R.I.P. Harry Damas, He passed October 2010.

 After playing with Damas

 I got a taste of the magic and knew that I actually could play along with someone else. The light bulb went on then and I wanted to play music with people more and more, leading into the school band, then onto marching band, Jazz Band, and basement / garage bands.

Breaking it Down

Understanding music

comes from listening to a lot
of music,and playing a lot of
music. Each individual has a
unique per-ception of what he hears,so there-fore, everyone interprets music alittle differen-
tly. This is part of what makes
up this magical world of music-
ians and songs 

We try to play like our favorite drummers

  or we emulate them. This is a classic way that guys learn. Many drummers can do this without learning to read, by the grace of God, they were born with the gift of great ears and coordination. As a player that can read, I recognize that reading music is very important to better understanding the "ABC'S" of drumming. Sharing my knowledge,or "Breaking it Down" is all a part of helping people learn to count and subdivide the beat. Understanding how to read music makes it easier to explain. Beginner readers need to remind themselves to slow things down so reading can come easier. Counting out loud also helps. If you can say it, you can play it!! Have patienceand be persistent and you get the results.
