A practice pad may not be as exciting to you as a drum kit, but using one will greatly benefit your practicing on the drums. Many drummers do all of their practicing on the kit. While there is nothing wrong with that at all, there’s a good chance that if this is you,...
I’d like to share with you a few simple practice tips that will help you feel more motivated to practice. The more motivated you are, the more you will accomplish in your practice time. Sometimes motivation doesn’t come from what we practice, but how we...
There are many skills to work on in your drumming aside from learning cool beats and monster fills. Your ability to keep steady and accurate musical time is the most important skill you need. Equal to that is your ability to synchronize with another musician....
Most drummers learn how to play because they have an interest in music already. When I ask a new student “What made you decide to take drum lessons for the first time?”, they usually respond with something like: “I dunno. When I listen to music, my...
It’s no surprise that a comfortable practice space can increase your motivation to practice more. This space should be a cozy room or corner that you can retreat to without too many things to interrupt your time. When I was in my early 20s, I had my drums setup...
As a parent, I am very happy with Kevin’s one-on-one drum classes with my child, Lucas. He is consistently punctual and demonstrates a high level of professionalism. Kevin is very focused in his teaching, providing clear instructions that are easy to follow.
What I appreciate most is his ability to adjust his approach to match the student’s level, ensuring that Lucas feels both challenged and supported. His teaching style is objective and structured, which helps Lucas stay motivated and progress steadily. Lucas always looks forward to their meetings, which shows how much he enjoys and values Kevin’s lessons. Even though the classes are conducted via Zoom, it feels as if they are having them face-to-face.
Overall, Kevin’s dedication and skill as a teacher make him an excellent mentor, and I am grateful for the positive impact he has had on Lucas’s musical journey.

I love the live lessons - helpful and a ton of fun
Jan 14/2026
I’m a new-ish and sporadic drummer, and the live lessons are something I genuinely look forward to every few weeks. Kevin is an excellent teacher who meets you exactly where you are and keeps things fun, practical, and easy to apply right away. The live format makes a big difference for me as it blocks the time and gets me focused on practicing in ways I might not choose on my own. I always leave more motivated and excited to practice. Highly recommend the live lessons for any drummer!
