Welcome!
Thanks for visiting Out of Hock Drum Studio. If you’re here looking for an experienced, reliable, professional drum teacher, I applaud your sound judgment and excellent taste!
Out of Hock Drum Studio is the place to go for drum lessons in the Pasadena area. Whether
you're just beginning or playing professionally around town, I can help you develop your skills to
become both a better drummer and a more complete musician. I have over 30 years of
experience working with students of all ages and skill levels. Whatever your goals, I can put
together a lesson plan to help you reach them.
A distinguished musician and educator in Los Angeles since the early 1980s, I trained
extensively with both Murray Spivack and Richard Wilson, two masters of drum technique with
scores of successful pupils performing worldwide. It’s a privilege to pass along their
philosophies to students of my own.
Feel free to take a look around. You’ll find all pertinent information here on the site.
And don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to ask a question, check references,
make an appointment to meet with me personally, or set up a lesson schedule.
Enjoy!
David Hocker
A WORD ABOUT COVID-19:
After a year of teaching exclusively online via Zoom, I have resumed seeing students at my
home studio in South Pasadena, CA. I am currently observing all L.A. County safety
recommendations and protocols, so all students will be required to wear a mask and maintain a
safe distance during our lesson until further notice. I have received both doses of the Pfizer
vaccine.
I will continue to offer online lessons for out-of-town students and for those who prefer doing
so for safety reasons.
