About Me
HEY, I'M
QUINN AYRES
I'm your local drum teacher and professional noise maker, also known as Mellow Toad. With 6 years of playing experience and 3 years of teaching, I've combined my passion for drums with my love for music production to create Mellow Toad Productions.
Music isn't just my passion—it's what I believe I was put here to do. Whether I'm teaching a beginner their first beat or helping a band capture their sound in the studio, I bring the same dedication and enthusiasm.

My Story
THE MELLOW TOAD JOURNEY





I discovered drums as a freshman in high school after a life-changing car ride, during which my neighbor introduced me to Sunny Day Real Estate. That moment sparked a passion that led to countless hours of practice, forming a band with my best friends, and eventually launching my teaching and production career.
