Pro drummer. Recording artist. Educator. Rhythm runs through everything — on stage, in the studio, and beside a student.
Bio
Born in Edmonton, Alberta and now based in Vancouver, BC, Chris has been drumming since 1992 — over three decades behind the kit. He's a professional drummer with extensive studio recording experience and international touring credits across Canada, the USA, Europe, and the UK.
Career highlight: opening for Taylor Swift at Commonwealth Stadium in 2009. Chris has performed on live television to a nation-wide audience of 2 million viewers as a special guest on Canadian Idol (no pressure!). His musical affiliations include albums by OmnisighT, Revenger, Surface of the Sun, and various solo projects released on the Warunki Media label (Bandcamp), plus independent session work.
Chris is a proud official Sabian Cymbals endorsed artist, with additional endorsements from Los Cabos Drumsticks, Cympad Accessories, and Sweetspot Clutches. He shares his musical knowledge as an instructor and educator, with lessons published through the award-winning platform Drumeo — and is proud to have taught drum students who have since gone on to play professionally themselves. His musical background complements his real estate career — a versatile talent that thrives both on stage and off.
Lessons
Whether you're picking up sticks for the first time or refining advanced chops, Chris tailors every lesson to the student. In-person in Vancouver or online via video call — all skill levels welcome.
Never touched a drum kit? No problem. We'll build your foundation — grip, posture, basic rhythms, and the joy of making your first beat.
Already playing but ready to level up? We'll work on fills, independence, dynamics, and developing your own musical identity.
For serious drummers: advanced polyrhythms, odd time signatures, chart reading, recording techniques, and gigging preparation.
From first-time learners to lifelong players — Chris tailors every lesson to the student. Patience, encouragement, and a fun environment for all.
