Taking lessons with Eric has been a total blast. I was looking to pick up a new hobby and had an interest in the drums. From day one, Eric empowered me to push myself out of my comfort zone! We have a lot of fun during our lessons and I'm improving every week thanks to him!

Eric has been my drum teacher for the last few months in Chicago. I have been more than impressed with the service. He is an instructor who not only is incredibly skilled, he is full of energy and makes the lessons fun and is not overwhelming with new content. He builds on previous lessons. My favorite part of the lessons is his knowledge about drumming styles, and drummers throughout history. Definitely a great guy, and a great instructor.

I really like the way Eric teaches. He starts with understanding your expectations and customizes the learning based on that. He has a lot of experience in drumming.
