Testimonials
Here are some people just like you saying nice things about the time they — or their kids — spent learning to play the drums with Billy.
Bennett
student for 10 years
“Billy’s knowledge of the drums is only matched by his enthusiasm for teaching. I love listening to their lessons and hearing Billy cheer in excitement when B nails a beat!”
— Bennett’s dad Andy
Jannell
student for 6 years
Billy made taking drum lessons as an adult fun and accessible. I had no music experience at all, but by the end I was able to confidently play the music I enjoy. I am a lifetime drummer thanks to Billy’s expertise.
Deanna
student for 15 years
Billy breaks songs down into simple lessons and makes me believe no song is beyond my skill level. Now, if I hear a song on the radio, I can play it on the drums when I get home. Plus, his sense of humor makes drum lessons fun.
Tuli

Billy cultivates the curiosity of the student. He does his job with the utmost respect for the art form of drumming and makes a point of getting to know every student at a level that shows his care.
