About
Having graduated from the Drummers Collective School of Music located in New York City and with over 35 years of experience in playing the drums - including 25 years spent as a professional instructor in West Michigan - my passion for teaching and supporting students in their musical expression drives me in my pursuit of excellence as a drum set instructor.

My teaching environment is conducive for learning with my well-rounded and comprehensive curriculum. I provide instruction for various styles, from jazz to country, rock to pop, Latin to reggae, and even praise and worship music.

My teaching approach is multi-dimensional, incorporating instructional materials in DVD format as well as digital recording technology. Students have the opportunity to record their performances using my digital studio, giving them valuable experience in producing their own recording on CD.

Danny was an exceptional discovery. Although I had sampled the Drumeo videos online for two months, I knew I lacked essential knowledge until I was fortunate enough to meet Danny. His expertise in technique, theory, timing, and the all-important feel furnished me with the necessary tools to progress. Danny has an incredible ear for music, and his valuable real-time feedback elevated my tuition. He was always mindful of my specific goals as a drummer, and that enhanced my learning experience. Danny's patience, kindness, and sense of fun made me feel at ease immediately, which was particularly important to me as I started drumming in my mid to late 30s. Although Danny relocated to Austin, I was disheartened to discover he wouldn't be around to teach my seven or eight-year-old son in a few years, something I had eagerly anticipated. I would highly recommend Danny to both adults and young drum enthusiasts. I feel fortunate that I have been able to continue my lessons with Danny online and would not consider learning from anyone else.

For 8 years now, our 17-year-old son has been continuously motivated and having a great time learning more, all thanks to the fun-filled and encouraging drum lessons Danny provided him.

Danny offers a proficient setting for learning. With his dual drum arrangement, one can comfortably sit adjacent to the instructor, listen, observe and then practice playing the drums. His immediate feedback cannot be obtained through online lessons. I highly suggest his services to anyone.

For twelve years, I received private drum lessons from Danny Reyes and I couldn't be more pleased with the knowledge and skills I've gained from him. He's undoubtedly one of the best drum instructors in the area, and he customizes his lessons to suit each student's unique needs at a pace that is both comfortable and productive. Danny covers an array of lesson material, including hand and foot technique, sight reading, chart navigation, metronome accompaniment, and recording your own drumming with musical tracks. Beginner or advanced, Danny's drum lessons paired with diligent practice are sure to elevate your musicianship.

He is an immensely gifted musician and instructor who has been giving lessons to both my son and me. He has a remarkable ability to not only work well with kids but also with adults. I've been taking drum lessons from him for four years already and my progress has been immense. His teaching style is suitable for both beginners and advanced players, making him an ideal instructor for all.
