Anyone of any age / experience level looking to take drum lessons would be remiss to go anywhere other than Drum Sync Academy. The instructors are incredible, particularly the owner Kyle, who has remarkable insight and intuition for what will work for each student. The prices are also very fair. Drum Sync also takes pains to offer a variety of opportunities to play drums, making it so much more than simply drum lessons. They care so much for their students and community. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

If I could give a million stars, I would. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this academy is. First off, the set up for group classes is awesome. It gives a feel like you're playing a show on stage, especially with the lighting. And the owner/instructor, Kyle, is VERY knowledgeable and teaches in a way that makes the lessons fun. I've learned so much just in the few months I've been there. What's great is that we always play along to songs, so it makes me feel like I'm part of a band. :) Apart from teaching, they are also super flexible and try to work with your schedule the best they can. The manager, Karina, is super sweet and very responsive to emails. If you're looking to learn to play drums, this is the place for you! read more

Love, love, love DSA. This is the only extracurricular activity my son loves! The owner and staff are amazing. We are definitely lifers!!!

Kyle and his team at DSA have created a welcoming and personalized environment to learn in. As an adult learner with no musical experience, I was nervous about finding a teacher that was patient and could put me at ease. Lessons with Kyle have been fun and educational, and in 4 months I have progressed well beyond what I ever would have been able to do on my own. Whether you are young or old, DSA is a great place to learn the drums. read more

This place is fun and everyone there is super cool, talented instructors and great staff all the way around. It is a relaxed environment where fun and creativity make lessons great.

This places is the best of the best. read more

We love Drum Sync Academy! The energy is amazing! I actually enjoy going to class just to watch. The instructors Kyle and Dakota are great with the kids and they make it fun. In an 8 week session I have seen not just my child but all the kids in the class develop new skills. They introduce drum facts that will help them read music as they grow. If your little one loves music and is interested in drums you will not be disappointed! read more

Drum Sync Academy - Beginner classes for kids 4-6, small groups allow them to work closer with their students. - Performing Arts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Learning how to play the drums is not just for the kids. I have always wanted to see if I could learn to play the drums as an adult. I have been taking lessons at DSA with Kyle now for about 3 months and LOVE IT! Kyle is the best teacher and explains the drums in a way that even this grandma can understand. I also have 2 grandsons that are students at DSA and their parents are very pleased with their progress. So, you can teach an old dog a new trick. I highly recommend DSA for any age. read more

Kyle and Dakoda are the best teachers! They are endlessly patient, funny, fun, and kind. I walked in without any experience in music AT. ALL. and within a few weeks I was reading drum music, and playing some easy grooves. Their love of their craft comes through in everything they do at work, and it is contagious. And Karina in the office is so easy to talk to, and sweet and understanding! The best drum classes anywhere! read more

I'm 10 years old, I started with Drum Sync Academy about a year ago and I have learned so much. Kyle the owner is so hilarious and an awesome instructor. If you have a passion for drumming, Drum Sync is the place to be. We had a DSA gig at the Mission Inn Festival of Lights and it was the highlight of my life. I look forward to Drum class every week. I'm in a DSA class and it truly feels like we're part of a family! read more

Drum Sync Academy - Performing Arts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My son has been coming here for a few years and absolutely loves it. He started in the Little Groovers class at 4 years old - his instructor does an amazing job of balancing fun with teaching drum technique. He has performed in a few concerts over the years, which has built his confidence and performance skills. My 7-year-old is now a better drummer than his dad! We can't say enough good things about the staff here. They are very professional, yet there is a strong family feel to this place. We definitely recommend Drumsync to anyone interested in learning to play drums. read more

We just signed up my grandson for lessons. He's almost 4 so his attention span is quite lacking but they have so much patience. I hope he'll start paying better attention and actually learn. More reviews later. read more

I'm brand new to drumming, but after speaking with Kyle I knew that I could succeed. Best drum teacher ever. I'm learning so much every single week and can't wait for the next lesson. The experience and professionalism hand-in-hand with the laid back and friendly atmosphere make this the PERFECT and most comfortable place to learn drums. It's more than just drum practice, it's drum education. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Right now I'm in a group class and it is so AWESOME. I couldn't imagine what it would be like or how it would work, but it totally does. Everyone gets their time and we progress as a unit. I may look into private lessons (PDI) with drum sync in the near future, but I'm loving it as is right now- on the big stage with the bright lights. We play awesome music every week and truly feel like rockstars. Thanks DSA! read more

I've been taking private lessons with Kyle for about 3 months. I heard about him from a coworker months before and I finally gave him a try. I'm an adult and I was a little hesitant on signing up for music lessons but I've been very satisfied with DSA. I briefly took lessons with another local "music school" and the two experiences have been night and day. If you are specifically interested in drums, this is the best place to go! The set up is great. He's got several areas with full drum kits! One in the back room on a stage for group lessons/classes and special guest clinics, two kits set up in the front room for one-on-one instruction and another kit in the middle room along with hand drums and such. My last music school had one electric kit in a closet and we were only allowed to plug in when nobody else was in the building! At DSA, you can be as loud as you want! Like I said, night and day difference. Kyle is a lot of fun to take lessons with. He's friendly, outgoing, he listens to the student and caters his lesson to the student's goals and interests. He's very patient and seems to do very well with small children too. He's a graduate from Musician's Institute and he's toured with bands so he's more qualified on paper than a lot of other drum instructors I've come across (if that kind of thing is important to you). He's also been very accommodating to my schedule, which changes every week. Price is very reasonable. Private lessons run about $25 a week. I paid the same amount at my last music school and didn't get nearly as much bang for my buck. You also get every minute you pay for, never stopping a minute early or watching the clock like it's some kind of count down. I've had many, many people tell me "You don't need lessons, you can teach yourself, don't waste your money" and let me tell you, the time and frustration you will save yourself is worth the cost of professional lessons! I tried teaching myself for 6 months before I signed up for lessons and I didn't get very far. DSA has been totally worth it! No complaints at all! read more

My name is Elliot S.and i recently had the opportunity to take a tour of drumsyncacademy with kyle and was so impressed with his professionalism and his down home personality. I felt like i had known him for a lifetime. I've never played the drums before, but i felt a strong desire to learn so i went out and bought a kit. At 53 years old i wanted to try a new hobby, needless to say i didn't know what to do from there. After the tour i immediately signed up for lessons. I told kyle i wanted to be treated as though i knew nothing about drums, because i didn't lol, . After my first lessons i was so jazzed about what i had learned, i actually had the ability to keep beats, read drum notations and even play along with some songs. I would recommend DSA to anyone who has a desire to play the drums. This place makes learning fun. Remember I'm 53, and I'm like fine wine, I'll only get better with time. Thanks DSA for your patience, professionalism and expertise in helping me fulfill a dream. read more

Drum Sync Academy - My first drum kit - Performing Arts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My 11 year old son has been at Drum Sync for 8 months. You know he loves it when the topic on the way home in the car is how lucky he feels to be going there. Kyle has just the right combination of skill and personality to keep my son really excited about drumming. I am amazed at what he can do after 8 months. My son's dad had a traditional drum training and says our son is learning things he didn't learn for years. My son started in private lessons then switched to a class when Kyle thought he was ready. I highly recommend Drum Sync! read more

Went in and spoke to Kyle. He was really laid back and had a good vibe. I'm not new to drumming but I am a decade out of practice. Right now I'm just looking into teachers. This school has a lot of potential and I would recommend giving them a look. They have a couple practice rooms and even a lager area with a stage, complete with lights. You can get your rock star on! I got a little sample of Kyle's playing and he had really good technique and amazing sound. I'm not sure if I'm going to take group classes or private lessons but, in the future, I definitely plan on studying there. read more

Kyle is such a magnetic personality! His energy is contagious and fun to be around. My son has learned so much in the year he has been taking group lessons. I drive over 30 miles to his studio (one way ;-), because he is that good! With other instructors, my son wasn't as motivated to go, but he and I both look forward to his weekly lessons. Great drum instructor!! read more
