Nick offers more than drum lessons with his contagious enthusiasm and deep understanding of the importance of music. His ability to break down the intricacies of rhythm is a valuable bonus!
I recommend him with 5 stars.

Our experience (1.5 yrs) with Nick was always pleasant and productive for our son. Nick was our son’s first drum teacher and he immediately gave a solid foundation to grow from. Our son is still drumming and has used Nicks teachings to be the drummer in a four piece rock band as well as intermediate high school Jazz. We loved working with Nick!

Nick is a truly talented instructor. Old school but encouraging, and he knows the right steps you need to take your drumming from novice to expert. If you feel you are weak in your basics he is your guy. Hes always on time and accommodating, and communicative, and we always cover a wide variety of rudiments and skills in our lessons.
