Jeffrey C. says, "I hadn't had lessons in 45 years. Michael has gotten me back to basics. I'm having a great time. He's encouraging, his setup is excellent, he's really helping me meet my goals. He's also very knowledgeable about drummers, drumming, and many styles of music. He enthusiastically shares his knowledge (you might need to sometimes steer him from talking to go back to having you play the drums, although what he says is always fun and interesting)."See more

I use his lessons every time I teach and perform! I would highly recommend someone to study with Dana to grow their drumming in ways they didn’t think were possible."See more

Ryan M. says, "Zhach is a kind, talented, and thoughtful professional. I've been learning with Zhach via Zoom for around 6 months and have picked up practice techniques, good habits, useful feedback, and musical theory that I've been lacking for over 1.5 decades of self-teaching. Lessons are always fun and productive, and Zhach is a cool guy to get to know. The man is an absolute machine - I highly recommend him!"See more

Matt's Drum Lessons
Matt's Drum Lessons
As a complete beginner in music, the thought of learning any instrument in my mid-twenties is pretty daunting. Matt has definitely helped me ease into this and improved my playing with his teaching style and genuine support. The other reviews are on point: he is great at communicating and demonstrating the proper techniques. Further, his enthusiasm for music feeds and enlivens each lesson! In the past few months, our lessons have covered topics ranging from the right sitting posture to limb independence and reading sheet music. I would like to note that Matt is able to play everything from jazz to latin on the drums – While I’m still very much learning the fundamentals, I do think having a teacher who can do this will be beneficial for any student down the road in gaining a broader set of drumming skills and appreciation for the many different genres of music. Last but not least, I appreciated it when Matt helped me research the best ways to practice drumming, as I live in a multistorey building. Look no further if you are searching for an instructor who is talented, gifted at teaching and supportive!
