He has been very patient and she gets something out of every lesson. Her first recital was at the world famous Stone Pony. How many 6 year olds can say they played the Stone Pony. My son started with Drew and now works with Matt. Both were just awesome starting with basics and now moving him in to more complex beats and songs. My son plays in the Beach Music Rock Band now. He plays between 5 and 8 shows a year, usually 2 to 3 songs per show. The confidence and stage presence he has gained far outweigh the skills he has learned on the drums. However, he is still the best 10 year old drummer I have ever seen. He has played the NJ Boardwalk, BlueClaws games, the Stone Pony, iPlay America and few other places. His experiences with the band, Drew, Matt and Danny have made his childhood so much better.
