About Kenny
My musical journey started when I was 8 years old, taking private classical percussion lessons from graduate students at Indiana University until High School when I started taking lessons with university faculty. I have a bachelor's degree, from Indiana University, in Music Performance (percussion), Audio Technology and Ethnomusicology.
In college, I was a student of Kenny Aronoff, the drummer with John Mellencamp and later an in-demand studio drummer. Through Kenny Aronoff, I learned the Alan Dawson Technique on drum set. Alan Dawson was a famous jazz drummer/instructor who taught at Berklee College of Music.
My experience includes
- Tutoring many students at middle schools and high schools, in the Austin and Round Rock, TX school districts,
- Taught drums for 10 years at Tommy's Drum Shop, in Austin, to students from 3rd grade to adult.
- Judged UIL All-State Band auditions (TX).
I currently teach at my home and online. For anyone looking to take drum lessons in the Austin, Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos, TX areas, feel free to take in-person lessons at my studio. For those too far to come to me, I also teach online.

Perfect! Kenny is a great instructor. I was looking for someone to help me focus on rudiments and reading music. He has a lesson plan that addresses those and more. Highly recommend.
- Rhett had been taking lessons at The School of Rock for about a year and wanted to progress more with his technique, reading and 4-way independence. After assessing what Rett could do and what he needed work on, we came up with a plan to get him started and feel good about reaching his goals. Rhett will be fun to work with and I am looking forward to helping him become more proficient.Kenny's response :
Perfect! My 10yo son just had his first lesson with Kenny and he loved it. I think they will get along great. I was able to sit in Kenny’s house while I waited for my son. I’m looking forward to see how my son progresses.
- Anica's 10 y.o. son, Rain, came by for an intro lesson. Rain started out shy but was more comfortable by the time we finished our lesson. Rain looks like he will be a fine student.Kenny's response :

Kenny Felton and I have been friends for many years and we’ve both been playing and teaching drums as well for many years.
I highly recommend Kenny as a player/ drum teacher as well.
Kenny is a wonderful drum teacher and a great guy.
He taught me from square one and over time helped me develop the confidence to start playing live gigs.
He has a clear teaching method and the patience to allow you to develop at your own pace. I always looked forward to my lessons with him.
