LESSONS

“I started playing drums a few years ago and within a year I had joined a band and played my first gig at the Mint here in LA.  That would not have been possible without Adam. He is the consummate pro; having played on best-selling albums and performing live in front of tens of thousands of people, Adam backs up any teaching with real world experience.  His passion for helping me focus on the things that matter as a drummer, challenging me to explore all of the creative options behind a kit, and a continued prioritization of both the fundamentals and the joy that comes from playing all proved transformative in my development. Can’t recommend him highly enough for any drummer at any level.  He’s one of a kind.  Thank you Adam for being awesome!!”

 “I still can't believe our fortune to find Adam.  My son loves the lessons, comes away smiling and full of ideas every time. At home, he practices; his instigation, always.  As a college professor myself, I have to say that technical excellence is only the beginning of Adam's skills as a teacher, as he takes the time and attention to understand the student's taste and learning style, and structures their time together accordingly.  Perhaps best of all, his love of music is infectious, bringing new perspectives and new directions, even to a teenager, like my son, with strong ideas about his likes and dislikes coming in.  Long and short: yes!”

“Adam is a knowledgeable drum teacher.  He combines his training at the Berklee School of Music along with his extensive work experience to help students achieve their musical goals.  As a teacher, he is patient and encouraging and often thinks of ways to expand our son's skills.  He focuses on teaching fundamentals, transcriptions and reading music.  Adam keeps the lessons fun by choosing music that excites and motivates his students.  Adam is, by far, the best drum teacher our son has had!”
