Zach Chaffee

Zach picked up the drumset at the tender age of six years old when his parents noticed how he stared at the drummer for their church’s worship team. They began lessons for him immediately. He played his first live show with his punk band ‘Better Than’ at sixteen while going to school in Gray-New Gloucester. Two years and one music scholarship later, he set out for Augusta to study music seriously.  In his time studying at the University of Maine at Augusta he learned from the late, great drummer Steve Grover and local guitar maven and legend Bob Thompson. 

Zach has never stopped pursuing new skills and interests, and through college he pursued both guitar and piano in addition to the drumset. Throughout his life Zach has been blessed with supportive parents and gifted teachers, through whom he learned the value of joy in music, and approaches instrumental instruction with intention of building a love for the instrument and music in general along with the techniques to facilitate it.
