Tim Alexander's Drum Composition Lab
Join us at West Coast Drum Shop in Bellevue, WA for an exclusive Drum Composition Workshop with Tim Alexander, legendary drummer for Primus, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and more. This intimate, hands-on session dives into Tim’s unique creative process—groove design, odd-meter concepts, textural layering, and how he crafts some of the most inventive drum parts in modern rock. This special evening is part of the West Coast Drum Shop 5th Anniversary Celebration and serves as Part 1 of Tama Day 2025, kicking off a full year of Tama-focused artist events and community programming. Whether you are a drummer, songwriter, or producer, you’ll gain practical tools for turning rhythmic ideas into fully realized compositions. Expect live performance, concept breakdowns, Q&A, and musical insights you can apply immediately in your own playing and writing. At West Coast Drum Shop, we offer a dynamic range of clinics and classes designed for drummers of all skill levels. Our sessions emphasize not just developing technical skills but also nurturing creativity and musicality. Each clinic features experienced instructors who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise.
