I can’t say enough about my time studying with Perdomo. I was in my early 20’s and had spent my life up to that point studying classical percussion. I wanted to learn how to formally play the drum kit, but I had no idea where to start. Perdomo opened that world up for me. He rebuilt me from the ground up, adjusting my technique to work on the drum kit, helping me with independence, and expanding my knowledge of grooves, music, and drum kit chart reading. Eventually, we started diving into the complex rhythmic structures and grooves of Afro-Cuban music, and I even spent time with him developing some basic conga technique. The most important thing that I took away from my time with Perdomo was this; he didn’t just show me what to practice. He taught me HOW to practice. While I haven’t studied with him in a little while, he gave me the tools to be able to help myself in any musical situation that I find myself in. I’m now a first call sub drummer for Broadway’s Hamilton and have performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. I owe a huge amount of that Perdomo, and will always be grateful for my time with him.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff! Alexis is absolutely spectacular with my busy and wiggly 5yo boy. She engaged him in a way that helped him pay attention and have fun. The front staff is friendly and kind. Absolutely recommend Capella!

I came into Danny's lessons as an experienced player, and I think he does a great job of identifying areas of improvement and exposing me to new ways of thinking about music, not just guitar. Danny has a welcoming personality and I look forward to chatting and getting guidance every week. I would recommend Danny to anyone who is looking to improve their ear, their technique and groove.
