"Todd's approach of applying creative interpretations to structured lesson material gave me the focus and direction I needed to hone my skills. It captures the benefits of drill repetition without suffocating strictness, always relating the material to real musical application. My study with Todd has not only impacted my approach to the drum set, but also my approach to other instruments and musical study in general. A conscientious and flexible teacher - highly recommended."
-Fred Smith, student

"Studying with Todd has been a great experience.  He really tailors his
lessons to the individual and that allows the student to get what they
need to become a better drummer."
-Greg Bartnik, student
