Out in New Mexico, as well as out here in California, Isaac has played in many groups, and has recorded a few albums. He has also taught private drum lessons as well as worked with high school drumlines from multiple cities. Isaac's greatest passion is drums, extending as far out as building his own custom drums that he hopes to one day turn into a drum building business. In the meantime, his time is spent honing his drum building craft, practicing his drums daily, and gigging in various cities with his fun rock band, as well as being a full time band teacher with Visalia Unified. Isaac is extremely excited to be a part of the team, and to share his passion for music!
