Teacher's Biography:
Welcome to Eric Hoover’s Anchorage drum lessons drum teacher profile.
Eric started playing drums at the age of 10 in grade school band. Funny story; he wanted to play the trumpet, but when it came time to pick instruments the band director handed him a trumpet mouth piece and he could not make a noise. So he was handed a pair of drumsticks and was asked “what about the drums?” That sealed his fate and he was forever in love with playing the drums.
In high school he was in honor band twice and played in the concert band, pep band, and marching band. At the age of 15, he joined a cover band and never stopped playing drums all over the world since then.
For 13 years, he joined various cover bands that performed from Ocean City, Maryland to Newport, Oregon, and Marquette, Michigan to Shreveport, Louisiana. He also played drums on Cruise ships for seven years, and traveled overseas for numerous times to perform for the military doing the USO and MWR tours.
After 40 years of performing and having all the fun in the world doing so, Eric now has a huge passion for passing on the knowledge of playing this instrument to the next generation of drummers by teaching them how to enjoy and love playing the drums.
