Brian Manchen, Percussionist

Percussion

Welcome to my Drums & Percussion page. I started off playing orchestral percussion (Timpani, Keyboard Percussion, Snare Drum, etc.) and ultimately got my degree in it from Rice University. Since then I've played in various venues, most enjoyably musical theater. Lately though I've become intoxicated with drums!

I am currently teaching private lessons in the Davis, California area. If you are interested in taking lessons, please contact me to set up a time. Whatever you are interested in studying, be it drumset, snare drum, or orchestral percussion, I'd be happy give you the tools you need to get started or expand upon what you already know.

Here are some pictures of my instruments... (the marimba, vibes, chimes, timpani & Sonor kit are in Ohio because I didn't have room in my car when I moved. I'm hoping to get some more stuff here this summer though)
