Drum Lessons
From announcement:
Hey Oregon Hill! I’m offering drum lessons to beginners of all ages, whether you want to learn academically or just for fun.
I’ve been playing drums and percussion for 13 years. I studied percussion from middle school through to getting my bachelor of music from JMU in 2014. I’ve also played in a progressive rock band called Fight Cloud since 2008 (fightcloud.bandcamp.com).
I’ll focus instruction on technique, rhythm, notation, and learning by ear. Having solid fundamentals will allow you to more freely play whatever you like, whether it be rock drum set, jazz, classical percussion, or drum line.
I would prefer to teach at the student’s home as mine is not ideal for teaching lessons. This also adds the benefit of being able to focus on your needs on your drums in your space.
If you’re interested, I’d love to hear from you, and we can negotiate time and price.
Thank you!

Small Richmond is the city’s best local independent news all in one place
OregonHill.net and seven other sites are today launching Small Richmond, a new site featuring local independent news in the city.
The eight participating sites cover core Richmond geography and
areas of interest. We are stoked to partner with Church Hill People’s News, Brookland Park Post, Dogtown Dish, Randolph RVA, Richmond Outside, Springhill RVA, and VCU Ram Nation to connect Richmond readers and publishers.
Contact John Murden at murden@gmail.com or (804)564-1360 to suggest a site for inclusion, if you would like to set up a community blog for your area, or for more information.
Oregon Hill On The Tourist Map
Tourist maps are always fun for their distortions as well as their inclusions and exclusions.
The photo below is an excerpt from “The Character of Richmond”, circa 1990, made by Atlantic Graphics. It seems more oriented towards Fan businesses and notably left out all of the Southside. I got it from former Oregon Hill neighbor Greg Wells, who has a booth or two at Mixie’s in Mechanicsville. He has more copies of this map for sale, along with a lot of other cool memorabilia, Richmond and otherwise.
I have seen more recent ones around town that leave Oregon Hill out, showing just the Virginia War Memorial right next to Hollywood Cemetery.
Anyway, this post also gives a little foreshadowing to an announcement coming this Thursday.
