I recently took my first lesson with Bart and it was a great experience. I had never done a remote / "Zoom" drum lesson before and I was a little nervous, but Bart was awesome and made it a comfortable and fun lesson. He is very knowledgable, but he made it easy for me to understand what he was trying to show me. Bart made some very helpful recommendations on my technique, like how I hold the sticks and how I strike the drums, and he shared some great sheet music with me with some cool exercises and patterns for me to work on. The lesson was fun but still challenging. He was very nice and the whole experience was wonderful. I will definitely take more lessons from Bart Robley. read more
