    Sean is very knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond to share his knowledge in a way that is easy to digest. I really enjoy Sean as an instructor.

    EX•CEL•LENT!!!! I'm surprised people like that are not better known when they demonstrate such skills, teaching abilities and character!!! Not only is Sean very kind, always positive, and extremely patient, but he also knows how to get you to understand whatever you set out to do and to succeed in the exercises he gives you. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!

    Sean has been working with my two sons (17 & 8) for the last six months. We have special circumstances and Sean has accommodated our needs with grace. It has been fun to hear my boys progress as he guides them through the workings of the kit (drum set), I didn't know it was called a kit either. He works with two kids back-to-back and adjust to the level they need to keep them interested and motivated. Rudiments, Reading the music, he gets it all in. If you want your new drummer to have a well-rounded and fun experience...give Sean a try.
