I like how he is very good at explaining complicated things. He also motivates his student to work hard. When his student makes a mistakes, he encourages them that they can do. He is also flexible and willing to work with you and help you out. If your looking for a drum teacher hes the guy to go.

Kabir is very easy going. He will immediately catch on to where you skill level is at and run with you until you lock right in. Great teacher and even better listener! This man is the standard of modern day teaching.
