Number Drummer

Number Drummer creator, Troy Kryzalka, has worked in music and education for over 20 years. Along with being a musician and classroom teacher, Troy has worked in curriculum and instruction as a trainer, coach, and developer. Number Drummer was created because Troy struggled to learn and understand music the traditional way.  Math became his approach for learning music, so it naturally created his method for teaching.  Troy has delivered his Number Drummer program to thousands of students and educators across the U.S., and has been recognized and awarded by Yale University for his innovative teaching approach.

Number Drummer Performances and Workshops are hands-on interactive experiences where audience members are active participants that work together to create and present a musical performance. During the experience, participants share drumsticks, cowbells, buckets, plastic bins, and other objects. Participants are also seated and grouped together according to the sound or instrument they are assigned. Because it is a cooperative learning experience, schools and organizations are responsible for determining the number of participants that safely occupy the space for proper health and safety.
