Sabrina was first introduced to the world of drumming through djembe drums at the age of five, transitioning to the kit three years later. Sixteen years later, her passion for the instrument hasn’t wavered - which includes a passion for instilling a love for the kit in others. She has a cumulative three years of experience giving private lessons, and in that time has found that learning the technical aspects and rudiments is all well and good, but at the end of the day, the fun is in creating music. Learning such a multi-faceted instrument should not come at the cost of that joy. Everyone learns and has fun learning in different ways.
