Matthias Drum Lessons :Lafayette/Orinda/Moraga

"Matthias is an incredible drum instructor. I started taking lessons from Matthias when I was in high school. Learning from Matthias strengthened the passion I had for playing; he exposed me to great music and motivated me to learn cool beats such as those in Squib Cakes (T.O.P.) and Rosanna (TOTO). Learning those beats are some of my earliest and best memories of learning drums to this day (10+ years later). Matthias is highly skilled at instilling the fundamentals of drumming while also helping to cultivate passion for playing through integrating backing tracks with other instruments in his lessons and even recording audio/video which his students can leverage for various purposes. I still consult Matthias today for guidance and feedback as he is an expert in the industry and a great person. Highly recommend working with him!"

"Matthias is a fantastic teacher and I high recommend him for anyone interested in becoming a drummer or improving their skills. Matthias is patient, helpful, and makes lessons fun. He taught our son for several years and was a great instructor both online (during COVID) and in person."

"We're new to Lafayette and was in search of a new drum instructor for my 12 year old son. He's been taking lessons for about 5 years now, so he's somewhat particular with who his instructor is. We finally stumbled across Matthias and have been absolutely thrilled. In just six months, we've seen remarkable progress and his enthusiasm for drumming. Matthias's engaging and patience have really made learning a joy for our son. Highly recommend for anyone seeking quality drum lessons for their kids!"

"Matthias is an exceptional drum teacher. He has a passion for music and teaching that is evident in every lesson. He is not only a skilled drummer, but also a patient, dedicated, and inspiring teacher who has helped many students achieve their musical goals. What sets Matthias apart is his ability to tailor his teaching style to each individual student. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced drummer, he will work with you to develop a personalized lesson plan that is both challenging and rewarding. His teaching approach is not only focused on technique and skill-building, but also on fostering a love for music and helping students find their own unique voice as drummers. Matthias is also a great communicator and has a talent for breaking down complex drumming concepts into simple and easy-to-understand language. He is always willing to answer questions and provide feedback, and his positive and encouraging attitude makes every lesson a fun and enjoyable experience. Another thing that Matthias impresses me is his unwavering commitment to helping his students beyond the confines of regular lessons. He is always willing to provide additional support and guidance outside of the lesson, answering questions and even sending video clips of his own demonstrations to help address specific difficulties or concerns. I highly recommend Matthias as a drum teacher to anyone looking to improve their skills and deepen their understanding of music. He is a true professional and a joy to work with!"

"Best drum teacher my son ever had. My son has been learning drum with Matt since we moved here in 2019. He is very kind and patient with my son but at the same time he sets clear goals for him and motivates him to learn new songs. We could clearly see the significant improvement from my son first started to learn from him until now. I highly recommend, we feel fortunate to have Matt as my son’s drum teacher. YOU ROCK!!!"
