Matt was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at the age of five along with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He began drum lessons at the age of five and discovered his symptoms disappear while drumming. Additionally, music has helped him overcome many challenges related to his diagnoses. Matt started Drum Echoes, Inc. to facilitate drum workshops with the purpose of providing people the same drumming and music benefits that have helped him throughout his life. He has worked with thousands of people all over the world, seeing firsthand how music helps others. During his workshops, he provides all the drums for people to play. All you need to do is show up and get ready to jam! He leads everyone into a cohesive jam with simple rhythms anyone can play. It’s fun, interactive and a great outlet.
