Kobe Sanders
Bass Instructor
This is Kobe’s first year on staff with the Blue Stars. Originally from Coachella, CA, and now based in Los Angeles, he is a dedicated percussionist and music educator in Southern California. Currently a fourth-year at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, Kobe is pursuing a degree in Music Education while actively student teaching and working toward his single-subject teaching credential.
Since 2023, Kobe has served as a battery instructor at Palisades Charter HS, and in 2024, he was a guest instructor for the inaugural SoCal Bass Camp.
His marching experience includes performing with the UCLA Bruin Marching Band (2021-2023), Élan Percussion (2022), and POW Percussion (2023). In 2023, he served as Bass Section Leader for the Blue Stars and finished out his performance journey with Pulse Percussion and The Blue Devils in 2024.
When Kobe is not drumming, learning, or teaching, he can be found reading, cooking, café hopping, and exploring the hidden gems of Los Angeles.
