About the Instructors:

Your Instructors are Deen (18) and Aemon(15) Alalusi. Deen started drumming on everything he could put his hands on starting at about age 2. He is self-taught and taught his first formal class when he was 11. Aemon followed in his brother’s footsteps and started teaching at age 13. They frequently drum at various gatherings and love to teach kids. They hope to pass on the love of drumming and inspire others.
