I met David about 4 years ago when he was at Green To Tee up at Glencoe Golf Club. I hired him to work with my son who wanted to try and be on the high school golf team. My son did make the team and then I decided to start taking lessons from David. In the last 2 years David has taken my handicap from 23 to 14.


My 14-year old son has worked with David for several years. David has helped him develop a very solid golf game; learning all the fundamentals as well as developing the confidence to compete. In addition, David has provided a great example of how to conduct oneself both on the course and in life.


In eighth grade my daughter decided to give up her other sports and start a completely new sport- that being golf. She started with David Maslen who taught her the basics from the ground up. She had never held a golf club before and David patiently and methodically taught her everything she needed to know about the game of golf.


I started to practice golf 5 years ago. Everything seemed difficult till I found David. Since then, my skills improved by a huge margin. I cannot recommend David enough; I send my two boys to the golf camps and it's so rewarding to see the progress.


Playing golf is one of the things I like the most but I never thought I can progress in this sport. David was the only instructor who proved be otherwise; golf is for everyone and we should all trust ourselves.

It's difficult to chose a sport from so many options when you have children. Luckily David's gold camps turned out to be the best solution for my family: I send them every year to the camps and my kids enjoy golf more than any other sport.

By age 15, Sophomore year, my daughter played on the varsity high school golf team. David would come to tournaments and support her during the golf season. He would review her play and focus lessons on her areas of greatest need. He is an encouraging, positive, and an incredibly knowledgeable coach. David sets his standards high and expects his students to put in the time to improve.

Welcome to DRUM LESSONS CHICAGO, where a solid foundation for all drumming begins


- gain a rock solid foundation in drumming for any style of music


- or improve your knowledge of rhythm on another non - percussion instrument

I will help you do any or all of these things.


My name is Andrew Sole. I have 35 years of playing and performing experience in both classical and contemporary music settings, including a conservatory degree in classical percussion. I have been teaching private lessons to kids, teens and adults full time for 19 years.

Students who take lessons with me have a solid foundation in all the fundamental building blocks of drumming, important tools which enable them to pursue any style of music they want with ease and confidence.

These are 6 of the most important drumming fundamentals you will learn

Knowing how to read traditional music notation greatly increases your understanding of how rhythm works whether you are reading sheet music or playing by ear.

Proper technique is extremely important because not only does it enable you to play the music more easily or without struggling, but it also helps prevent repetitive motion injuries such as tendonitis or carpel tunnel syndrome.

Independence of all 4 limbs is an essential skill for drum set players to be able to play their parts smoothly and effectively, especially if the music has more complex rhythms. You will learn many effective warm up and exercise routines to develop these skills.

Most music played on the drums has a steady solid beat that doesn’t speed up or slow down. Having the ability to play rhythms and transitions in music without speeding up or slowing down, is one of the most important jobs that a drummer has.

Just as important as reading music notation, is the having the ablility to learn a drum part by ear. By learning all the other drumming fundamentals, you will develope the skills necessary to hear a peice of music, pick out the drum parts and learn them without reading music. This includes creating your own drum parts for original music as well.
