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.

Jan

Billy helped provide one of the most fun experiences of my life! If you are lucky enough to have Billy as your teacher, be prepared for a fantastic experience and the ability to learn and grow faster than you ever thought possible! 

Pierce

Taking lessons from Billy not only helped me build skills to play drums well, it also helped me to understand how to play with other musicians as a whole.

Hudson

“We are so thankful we found Billy. It is amazing how much progress Hudson has made in such a short time and all over FaceTime! I would highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for drum lessons.”
— Hudson's mom Mindy

Bryce

“I can’t say enough GOOD about Billy! At a young age, my son became an excellent drummer because of Billy’s ability to bring out the best of him. My son still has a passion for playing drums and the confidence to embrace all of his other talents as well.” 
— Bryce’s mom Joie
