Take Drum Lessons From Type O Negative / Danzig Drummer Johnny Kelly

Take Drum Lessons From Type O Negative / Danzig Drummer Johnny Kelly

November 2, 2017 (November 2, 2017) // Riot Fest

When Johnny Kelly, drummer for Type O Negative and Danzig, isn’t touring, he lives in Texas and teaches drums.

“We just moved here, and if anyone is interested in doing it, hit me up and we will fit it in,” he tells the Dallas Observer. “We can have some fun.”

Before moving to Texas in July, Kelly taught at a School of Rock in New Jersey.

“My wife is like my project manager now,” he says. “She’s the one that has put it out there that I’m doing this.”

For $50 an hour you can learn to play drums like Johnny Kelly. For information about lessons, you can email Kelly at [email protected].

“I hate sounding like a mercenary because I’ve never wanted to do that,” he says. “I’ve always enjoyed playing with other people, but I never wanted to be a fill-in guy. I like having a home base.”
