Now Accepting A Limited Number of Students
My name is Lou Stavris, and I come from a family of drummers. My dad was a Master Drum Instructor and drum shop owner. He taught my Uncle, Nick Forte (Master Drum Instructor, Author, Professional Drummer), my brother Jim Stavris Jr., and me as well as about 2,500 other students! My instruction started at the age of five, and I took lessons on and off from my dad until I started college in 1985.
By the time I was born in 1965, drumming was firmly in place as the family business. I spent all of my childhood and my teens living over and working in the drum shop. My dad sold all of the major brands of the time, and it was a great place for all of the local drummers and his students to hang out and talk drums. I helped with the inventory, sales, stocking the shelves, doing repairs, and on occasion filled in for my Dad and did some teaching. Of course, every step of the way, I had my family to look up to.
In 1980, I co-founded a duo with a friend that played keyboards and sang. We played clubs, weddings, private parties, etc. This was the first time I was actually PAID to play drums, and man did it feel GOOD!
Over the last 25 plus years I have had the opportunity to perform in a wide range of musical situations. Being able to play different styles has kept me working and allowed me to continue to play year after year.
In July of 2007 I relocated my family to sunny Surprise, AZ. and for the first time I am accepting a LIMITED NUMBER of students to teach the art of drumming "The Stavris Way".
This is a proven method of teaching as originated by my dad and updated by my Uncle, Nick Forte with some of my own unique instructional methods thrown in for good measure!
