Drum Lessons San Antonio

Thad Humphrey, Drum Instructor

Thad was born in Austin but was raised in San Antonio. When he was growing up, his dad exposed him to a lot of classic rock and various other music genres, but Thad always found himself most fascinated by the drums. After years of taking lessons at SAMA and participating in the SAMA Band Ensembles, he found himself playing in a few cover bands that primarily focused on rock and similar styles. Thad enjoys listening to EDM, which typically lacks real drums, but he still likes to see how the songs could be translated into a real drum set. Recently, he has developed an interest in reggae and is currently exploring the grooves and styles of that genre.

During his free time, Thad loves to write and produce his own music, allowing him to express his personality through new styles, sounds, and lyrics. Additionally, he finds joy in playing video games, building Lego sets, and occasionally painting.

San Antonio Music Academy is very well organized. My daughter's piano teacher is wonderful! She's been taking lessons for 5 months and looks forward to each lesson. I really enjoy the recitals at the LOL Comedy Club.

My daughter has been registered here since she was 7. Each instructor she’s had has been very friendly and great to work with. Currently she has lessons with Ms Maria and we are so grateful for her and the entire SAMA staff. I can’t recommend enough.

San Antonio Music Academy is awesome, my son loves the guitar lessons and is super excited to attend every week! He started with zero experience and progressed surprisingly fast. Randy is an amazingly talented guitarist/teacher. He is very patient, yet knows how to push students to the next level. Highly recommend all the instructors, the staff is great!
