What my students say.

”My son Dylan thinks Andrew is an awesome teacher who makes learning to drum a lot of fun. Andrew encourages and motivates Dylan to practice and have fun along the way. We look forward to attending lessons every week.”

Tracy Alloway

I highly recommend Andrew as a drum teacher to people of all ages. I was an adult student of his and enjoyed his approach to the drums and knowledge he has behind him. If you are looking for a guy who has been there and done that in the drumming world then Andrew is your guy.”

Hamish Mio

“I have been a student of Andrew’s for three years. Throughout that time, he has always been a teacher who continually encourages me and presents me with new challenges and techniques to ensure I keep striving and, just as importantly, enjoying my drumming.”
