Lessons and Coaching

Tim has been teaching drums in the Kenosha area for almost 15 years. Whether you’re a beginner, an intermediate player, or a veteran professional, Tim can guide you on your way!

Drum lessons may cover the basics, like how to hold a drum stick or how to tune your drums, but Tim goes beyond that to give each student a comprehensive skill set that will carry them throughout their drumming career.

Topics beyond the basics include working on recording drums, producing drums, repairing drums, modifying drums, managing drum-centric social media outlets, and generally building a life around the passion of drumming. Tim has taught topics like economizing a social media content creation workflow to drummers like Valerie Franco (Kylie Minogue, Hayley Kiyoko, K.Flay). He has also worked with drummers including Michael Urbano (Third Eye Blind, Sheryl Crow) and John Wicks (Fitz and the Tantrums, Bruno Mars) on similar topics and social media optimization.

Whether you want to learn how to hit a drum or how to become a hit on social media, Tim Baltes may be the instructor for you! Check out the couple options below for lesson format.

Online lessons

Tim teaches drum students around the globe. Generally, this is done over Zoom, but if there is an issue with the student using that platform, there are plenty of additional web cam-based options to allow or video drum lessons.

In-Person lessons

If you’re located in Southeast Wisconsin or Northern Illinois, Tim does offer drum lessons at his studio in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Tim’s studio is located right between Milwaukee and Chicago. If you’re in the corridor and looking for regular lessons, give him a holler! Or, if you’re touring through the area and looking for a one-off lesson, Tim is happy to accommodate this too!
