    Excellent teacher! I had never played drums before and in 6 lessons/ 3 months I learned enough that I had outgrown my little electronic drumpad. Kind + funny, very knowledgeable.

    When I arrived to my first lesson, I walked into the studio while my teacher was playing and I was intimidated. But as soon as we started my lesson, my nerves dissipated. Eldon is such a good teacher. He pushes your limits while also encouraging you to have fun and loosen up. I look forward to every session and I already noticed Im getting more confident behind the kit.

    Frequently asked questions

    I want to know what level they are on and if they haven't played the drums before. 

    A.A In Music

    I give a free first drum lesson. If they like, I give them the prices for the next lessons. 

    I started teaching lessons in junior high school.

    It ranges from beginners to advanced. 8 yrs old to 60.

    Look for that teacher who really wants you to grow and develop to become a excellent drummer. Not for someone who's just looking for a check. 

    If they really want to take the time and practice, study to become great or they just want to do it has a hobby.
