ADAM TEVLIN

Adam Tevlin started writing music in his first year of grade school band at the age of twelve by writing a two bar snare drum solo entitled, "Victory March". Later in high school, he has written for his high school's drum line as well as gaining his first experiences with writing for the orchestra and concert band... From St. Louis, MO, Adam Tevlin has been drumming since he was ten years old. Coming from over 100 years of family drumming, his uncle inspired him to take up the drums. Not being able to afford drum lessons, Tevlin joined his grade school band at age twelve to learn rudiments and how to read music. A year later after studying with his first private teacher; Dan Luebbert, he was promoted to the high school marching band. At fifteen, he started teaching private lessons to students entering the high school band program. His sophomore year, Tevlin began studying under Mike Davis (now DCI judge and cofounder of Freedom Percussion) learning the traditional grip and drum corps..
