Brandon Toews is a drummer, author, educator, and content producer. He’s been creating and producing educational content for Drumeo since 2015—much of it in collaboration with the world’s top drummers, including Phil Collins (Genesis), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Jonathan Moffett (Michael Jackson; Madonna), Steve Smith (Journey; Vital Information), Simon Phillips (Toto; The Who; Jeff Beck), Hannah Welton (Prince), and Dennis Chambers (Parliament-Funkadelic; Santana). Brandon’s drumming videos have accumulated millions of views online and have been featured in digital publications of Billboard, Rolling Stone, Loudwire, and iHeartRadio.
Brandon is the author of The Drummer’s Toolbox, co-author of The Best Beginner Drum Book, and the Content Director at Musora – home to the award-winning online music education platforms Drumeo, Pianote, Guitareo and Singeo.
Brandon acquired his Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz and Contemporary Popular Music from MacEwan University in Edmonton, Canada, with a major in Music Performance, and studied with notable educators and performers including Jared Falk (Drumeo), Colin Stranahan (Jonathan Kreisberg; Kurt Rosenwinkel), and Brian Thurgood (Edmonton Symphony Orchestra; MacEwan University).
Dave has helped thousands of students reach their goals on Drumeo, and through instructional programs “Drum Play-Along System” and “Bass Drum Secrets”. A precise double bass drummer and practice pad lover who manages Drumeo’s partnerships and content, Dave brings a fresh outlook to the world of education through his hybrid teaching style – combining the best that formal training has to offer with the creativity and resourcefulness of a self-taught drummer.
