Dear Paul, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your recommendation of the Dave Ott trio. These three exceptional young musicians boast an impressive repertoire and demonstrated the ability to seamlessly handle requests outside of their songbook. They truly were the highlight of my wife's retirement party and all in attendance were thoroughly impressed. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to hire them again in the near future. Many thanks, Luke Somerlot

Thanks to Paul, my son has gone from having a mere interest in percussion to becoming a truly passionate and dedicated drummer. It's evident that Paul is fully committed to his craft, and his desire to see his students succeed shines through in his lessons, feedback, and support both in and out of the studio. He's undeniably the best motivator and cheerleader for my son's progress, consistently willing to go the extra mile for special requests such as solo/ensemble performances and concerts. We're incredibly grateful to have found Paul!

Paul is an amazing drummer and teacher! I had an amazing experience working with him and hope to do so again in the future. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue due to constraints with personal time and income.

Throughout my time studying with Paul Griffin, my drumming has improved significantly from its starting point. He has introduced me to various musical genres to explore with my drumming. I strongly suggest enrolling in lessons with Paul Griffin.
