Blake is not only an extremely talented drum player, he is also very knowledgeable of the contemporary music industry! Hes always quick to help and support his students in any way he can. He is an incredibly kind, patient, fun, and encouraging teacher!! Every lesson is a pleasure with him and I highly recommend learning from Blake :)

Blake is an amazing musician and an exceptional drum instructor. Ive been taking lessons with him for a few months, and Im inspired by his knowledge and passion for drumming. He has a very effective approach to methods of teaching, and he keeps me challenged while helping me to move forward quickly. I was impressed with his awesome studio in N. Hollywood. Its clean, organized, and the the most practical setting for learning. Hes also given me advice on selecting drum equipment, drum tuning, how to approach practicing, and overcoming obstacles. Blake is positive, patient, encouraging, and makes learning the drums extremely enjoyable! I look forward to my lessons each week, and I would highly recommend Blake for drum instruction!

My experience with Blake has been very positive. I am currently taking virtual lessons and am about a month & a half in with zero previous experience. I feel I have improved drastically with the tools he provides/ recommends. Blake does a great job at breaking everything down so that it’s easy for a beginner to follow along.

Blake is the best: he’s just an outstanding teacher, and he’s completely consistent and reliable. My 15 year old has made amazing progress since he started taking lessons with Blake. Blake inspires my son and challenges him at every lesson, but always with a kind and gentle professionalism I have not seen in other instructors. My son’s bandmates are much obliged to Blake as well!

You hit the ground running with Blake. He crafts the lessons excellently so that youre constantly learning new things and building off of what youve already learned, mixing in little tips and tricks and keeping an eye on your form the whole time. His game plan gets you playing right away; Ive never once been bored or felt stuck doing beginner stuff. Hes such a pro-- he is obviously very talented at adjusting to different skill levels. He has so much experience in the music world that I know I can count on his guidance in whatever direction it takes me. Also, for any other adult beginners who find it frustrating to not have all the time in the world to dedicate to a new hobby, Blake is super encouraging and always finds a way to keep you moving forward regardless of whether youve had time to practice. Its easygoing enough if you wanted to make it just a hobby, but hes also ready to take it seriously with you and whip you into shape for your goals if thats what youre looking for. I thought starting drumming as an adult was a total pipedream but Blake is making it happen! Highly recommend.
