The lessons I had with George were pivotal in my development as a drumset player and musician. I still refer to those lessons and continually synthesize what we talked about to this day. If youre a serious student, hes a serious teacher!

Hey Drummers - if youre looking to take your skills to the next level, George Lawrence is the guy ! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. He will challenge you, while working at your own pace, and I GUARANTEE you that you will have a whole new toolbox of tasty techniques and skills within just a few short months. You will not be disappointed. Best drum teacher I had by far (no one was even close), and Ive had a bunch !

George is an excellent teacher - especially for the working, experienced drummer. He figures out the root of your issues; those things you feel inside that have been holding you back day-to-day, gig-to-gig, that insecurity you feel in certain areas and or genres. He explores those issues in a no-nonsense, professional approach. The working drummers drum doctor!

Mostly adult pros in Nashville now but I do take on younger students who are committed to learning and practicing.

Play with people. Join the school band, play at church, play with your buddies in a garage band. Drums are an ensemble instrument 99% of the time.
