His solo projects, and ten years of teaching at the Drummers Collective in NYC, put him in the forefront of the rhythmic community, creating a buzz amongst all stylists.
He has taught concept to every range of musician from known rock, funk, fusion and jazz bands to teaching classical composers, arrangers and musicians.

For years people like Dennis Chambers, Bob Moses, Billy Hart, Terry Bozio, Trilok Gurtu, Zak Danziger and countless other drummers sought Pete out, though he remained an underground enigma.
