Introduction: I think I have the right attitude to work in any musical situation and also the know how to get the job down quickly and tastefully. I work well with others and I truly love the art of drumming which ensures a drum track, a production session or lesson that will be exactly what you need. That I get a chance to drum for a living and passing on my knowledge of my craft. A true joy to do. I fell in love with the instrument when I was 11 years old and never dreamed that I could do this for a living. Very fortunate...

Kevin was my first drum teacher. He was a close friend of my twin older brothers in the neighborhood growing up. The first time he ever took me seriously is when I walked up to him and said, "I'm going to become a drummer. I need you to teach me." His response: "Be at my house at 7:00 pm Monday night." During that first drum lesson, Kevin would not let me leave until I understood what an eighth note was. That was three intense hours later. I never forgot what an eighth note was. As his roommate at PIT in Hollywood, California, I watched Kevin become PERCUSSIONIST OF THE YEAR. As an Honors graduate myself, trust me when I tell you, he is the ELITE-Special-Forces in drumming! In teaching, Kevin is among the best of the best. I learned from Kevin, and then I learned from the best of the best...They're the same breed. You get what you pay for in life, in playing, teaching, and studio sessions, Kevin is not overcharging. Ive been a music Producer for the past twelve yearsand I hire him! You should too.

I am a professional drummer that has been playing untaught for years. Without direction, I've developed bad habits and "less than perfect" technique. So, I've explored a couple of different, top notch, teachers and none could help me realize my specific deficiencies, until I met Kevin. Without hesitation, he helped me define my weaknesses and used my strengths to compare against them. In only 2 months of studying with Kevin, my chops have improved more than the entire time I've played drums. Kevin is truly an amazing teacher. He's extremely descriptive and explains in simple and easy to understand terms. Most importantly, Kevin gives YOU the option of what to focus on. I'll never go to another teacher! He is my "Miagi"! Most importantly, he's an amazing personality. With all of his successes in the music industry, he's maintained his "down to earth" personality and I now consider him a good friend. He's a guy that I am extremely grateful to meet, not only for his teaching ability, but as an overall good-hearted guy. Eric Reeber Drums / Percussion Grape Street Riot

Since January of this year, Kevin has been teaching my eight year old son drums and has made incredible progress with him in just 6 months. Being a drummer myself, I figured that I would be able to teach my son on my own. Especially since I have been teaching middle school students for 21 years....That worked for about a year until I realized that he wanted me as a father instead of a drum teacher. So I called Kevin and he took Alek right in and began to work with him in a manner that was a perfect learning environment for a child. Alek is now reading music on an introductory level and playing grooves that I would have never been able to instill or teach to my son. Kevin keeps his lessons current, non traditional, exciting and most importantly FUN!!!! Alek has never put up a fight to go to lessons or to practice the lessons taught in the time in between them. Think about it....where else do you have access to a New York/LA caliber studio musician right in your back yard at a great price......Plus he has a couple of gold records along the way.........His reputation, character, and playing speak for itself.... Five Star rating from this satisfied father.....

Kevin Soffera's drumming skills are ridiculous - his drum tracks literally leap out of the mix. Top notch product @ super-fair prices. I wish I could steal him from his band and make him MY drummer exclusively...lol His flow is exactly what I need for ALL of my music - Drummers of his caliber are a rarity on this planet. "Exciting and dynamic" - are the perfect words to sum this dude up. I gotta hit him up for some more beats, like real soon....
