A quick couple of adult student reviews:

• “I’m 82 years old and have certain health issues. I took drum lessons years ago and wanted to see if I could get back into it. Finding Meshem was a dream come true. He has worked with me, giving me basic things to build on and monitors my progress… I look forward to our lessons and build on the new things he has taught me. I would highly recommend Meshem for all students regardless of where they are in their drumming!!” - Chuck Hintz

• "As a beginner and an older drummer I, of course, struggle with limb independence and at the start I was having a hard time seeing how I was ever going to "get it". When Meshem's Kick Independence course became available I immediately started. He broke down the mechanics of uncoupling [Mental Mapping Method] exactly how the right hand and right foot always want to be doing the same thing. He gave examples of some common patterns that are needed to reproduce some pretty iconic beats and it was time to fly. So fun and satisfying to slip a kick drum beat between a couple hi hats! I did spend a lot of time on it but I think its been a big step to unlock more sophisticated beats than the money beat." - Eric Evans

My mission is to help as many people as possible enjoy the massive benefits of drumming — while having the absolute time of their life doing it. And anybody can learn. I’ll show you how.

Great benefits for youth as well!

If you have a young person in your life, age 8 - 17 who is ready to learn, I'd love to work with them.

This is for your family if:

• You have a child in middle school or high school who needs weekly lessons to prepare for school music programs or auditions

• You have a family member with rock star dreams

• You have a younger child who has shown aptitude and readiness for individual instruction and a home practice routine — we teach as young as 8!
