Working alongside Jeff, I have been able to address some of the areas where I struggle with my drumming. As an older student, I have developed some habits that are hindering my progress, and I am also in need of relearning basic skills, such as rudiments. Jeff's exceptional ability to identify my specific issues and design exercises and techniques that target those weaknesses is something that I genuinely appreciate. He takes my personal style of playing into account during our lessons and consistently encourages me to try out different methods to master whatever activity or goal I am working towards. In my opinion, Jeff is one of the best instructors I have ever had. His extensive experience and expertise as a professional drummer and instructor are crucial in guiding his students towards becoming skilled drummers. I truly enjoy my classes with Jeff, as they never feel like a chore. This, in turn, keeps me focused on my drumming goals, and I am thrilled with the progress I have made thus far.

Jeff has been absolutely amazing! He has demonstrated exceptional listening skills and has worked closely with me to develop a personalized lesson plan to help me achieve my goals. Furthermore, he has astutely pinpointed some areas where I could improve that I wasn't previously aware of. Jeff has been exceedingly patient with me and has guided me through my journey of becoming a better drummer. I highly recommend Jeff for anyone seeking to enhance their drumming skills.

For a few weeks, my 11-year-old has been taking drum lessons with Jeffrey. His progress has been remarkable, and he eagerly anticipates his weekly sessions. As a drum instructor, Jeff comes highly recommended.

For a few weeks now, I've been taking lessons from Jeff and I appreciate his personalized approach to teaching drums. Instead of trying to mold me to a standard teaching style, he has taken my abilities and tendencies into consideration. As someone who has played for years, I sought a teacher who could help me polish my skills and take my drumming to new heights. Jeff quickly pinpointed areas for improvement, particularly with my hand and foot technique. He then established a plan to strengthen these skills. I've already seen improvements in my overall flow and feel, thanks to Jeff's individualized practice strategies. Additionally, Jeff is personable and receptive, two qualities I believe are vital for any good teacher. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking high-quality, tailored drum lessons.
