About us
Hi there 🙂
My name is Nitzan Ravhon (that’s me in the picture). I’m a drummer and drum teacher based in Israel. I graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London in 2017 (First Class Honours) and received my teaching certificate from Levinsky College of Education in 2019. In 2021 I opened the online store known as The Drum Sheet Music Store.
Over the years I played in numerous bands and wrote dozens of charts for the songs I was learning. While writing a ‘road map’ for a song is a quick and easy way to learn a lot of material in a (relatively) short time, I always felt that for educational purposes it’s best to learn the song as is (i.e. note for note).
When I started teaching full time, I went online looking for drum sheet music for my students. While there is a lot of material available out there (paid and free), I always felt it was lacking in at least one of two areas: A) It wasn’t note for note accurate and B) It was written in a troublesome manner and was not easy to read.
As a result, I started writing my own sheet music for my students. Not only could I now be certain that the transcriptions were indeed note for note accurate, it also allowed me make sure that the charts were easy to follow along. Also, I found out that transcribing the music for my students made sure that I was totally familiar with the song before teaching it to someone else.
As time went by I ended up writing hundreds of drum sheet music for my students, which they in turn used in their own teaching. Also, word got around pretty quickly and I was approached by other teachers who wished to use my sheet music with their students. It was at that point that I realized there is a real need for high quality drum sheet music.
I opened up the Drum Sheet Music Store in 2021, hoping that students and teachers around the world will find my material useful. I’m still transcribing music for my students on a pretty much weekly basis and also take requests from fellow drummers around the world.
If you’ve got any questions or queries, feel free to get in touch.
Cheers!
