Real Testimonials
I have been a student of Mike Henry's since November
2006. Although I already knew the basics, having played drums from middle school through college (1966 to 1976), that 30-year absence required a lot of catching up. More important than getting back up to speed on playing the drums, though, was learning how to be a drummer. Mike brings to the lesson room five decades of experience as a professional drummer, so his teaching isn't just "this is how you play a rock beat." It's also "this is how you function as the drummer in a rock band." That is the biggest value to my music education that Mike brought to the table. Whether you just want to be a hobbyist drummer (like me) or you have your eyes on a professional career in music (like Mike), this is the breadth and depth of education you need to move forward.
