I've been taking lessons with Ryan for nearly 2 years. What started out as a new hobby has become my obsession, DRUMS! I went from not being able to keep a beat to playing my favorite Zeppelin tunes with my friends. I can't speak more highly of Ryan and his ability to be patient with an old fart like me.

My son Cameron has been taking drum lessons from Ryan for a little over 6 months. He is very positive and kind, leaving my son with a smile on his face after every lesson. He even got us into one of his shows for free and brought us backstage! I would absolutely recommend Ryan as a drum teacher.

I decided to pick up drums as an adult a few years back and have been taking lessons with Ryan for over three years now. When I started, was an absolute beginner with no idea what to do behind a drum kit, but Ryan immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. I’ve grown immensely over the years, and I would highly recommend Ryan as a teacher for players at any and all skill levels!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Recording/Production Rates vary based on the project. Lesson Rates: $65 per hour lesson $35 per half hour lesson
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
If the student is brand new, I have a beginner cirriculum that I like to follow. I really like the opportunity to find out about my student's musical tastes, then we begin learning whatever song they're into at the time. From there I create a weekly lesson plan for each student based on their wants/needs. I strive to help them achieve their goals, whether that's being able to jam with friends, perform live, prepare for a recording session, or prep for a college audition.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelors in Music Performance & Music Business. I've been recording myself and my peers for around 6 years. I have been playing drums for 18 years, toured throughout the US and have performed in a wide variety of acts ranging from Hip-Hop, Jazz, Rock, Metal, Pop, & Folk.
