“Patrick is an awesome teacher and resource for students. He has an incredible breadth of knowledge and is highly-skilled. You can ask him any questions about drumming or practice and he always has the best insights. I hope to keep working with Patrick for many more lessons because they're so fun, and I feel supported and see my progress…I encourage anyone reading this to TRY A LESSON with Patrick, soon!”

“Patrick is an incredibly talented and well-rounded drummer so we get to work on all styles of music ranging from Jazz, R&B, Rock, etc. He is great at adapting his teaching style to what works best for the student - we have been doing a mix of playing along with songs and learning by ear mixed with learning rudiments and writing some grooves out on paper so I can practice reading music notation as well. He is very communicative and organized with scheduling. Highly highly recommend!”

“There are not enough words to describe Patrick’s work. My daughter is an experienced drummer and it wasn’t easy to find her a drum teacher, that will challenge her and take her to these unbelievably high levels as Patrick did. Patrick is not just a super talented and a professional musician, but also a great person that brings enthusiasm and creativity into the lesson and connects with his students. We feel very fortunate to have Patrick as our daughter’s drum teacher and mentor.”

“I had never attempted to learn drums and Patrick was extremely patient with me and an AMAZING teacher! He gave me exercises to work on at home and encouraged me to write my own music. I feel like I understand drumming and have a newfound respect for the craft!”

“Hands down the best teacher my son has ever had…”
