"My 14 year old son and I thought it would be fun to learn to play the drums together.  My son's goal is to be a rock star mine is to relieve some stress and simply have fun.  Mike has been able to address both of our goals with practical lessons focused directly on our individual needs.  We look forward to each new lesson and enjoy the results we have seen so far."

 " 'Ba ba da bum, bad ba da bum. Now say it fast,'  said my drum teacher. This statement was the first thing I ever learned about playing a drum set. Mike comes to my house at 12:57 every Saturday afternoon in a checkered shirt and dark blude jeans, and the first thing he says is "Ba ba da bum." The rhythm pattern consists of hitting four drums. I start slowly, then pick up speed, as my hands flow smoothly from drum to drum so as to not miss a beat.

Drum sets have become a big part of my life. Now instead of just watching the television or staring at the computer screen, I have a great hobby. My drumming has also helped me enjoy the music I listen to even more. Instead of just thinking that the song has a great beat, I can now get on my drum set and play that beat myself. Even though it takes a lot of practice and hard work, being able to play with pride is a great accomplishment, and every week I make Mike more proud."
