"Nick is a great teacher. Patient, enthusiastic and I thought he was unusual in his ability to find just the right way to teach me his method. I had trouble holding the drumsticks correctly and he was creative and thoughtful."

"Nick is a great teacher! He is patient and understanding, without judgment. He is only concerned with helping you to be a better player. He also understands that everyone learns at their own rate. He works with you until you get it, no matter how long it takes. He makes sure that your practice sessions don't get monotonous and you stop doing them - he is adding little things to keep you on track to become the player you want to be. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to become a better drummer."

"Nick is a great teacher, I could not be more fortunate in finding him. He has a rich knowledge of drumming, and because he cares about and is interested in drumming himself, he can easily communicate with and teach other potential drummers. He tailors my lessons to what I want to focus on, while still making sure my skills are progressing evenly. He even sent me a Christmas card. He's one of the best teacher's I've ever had compared with previous guitar, bass, and piano lessons."

"We love Nick and he couldn't be a better match for my 9 year old son who loves music but is a little timid. Nick has really brought out his confidence and is a wonderful teacher."
