Corey Colmey Drum Instruction 227 West Dominick Street, Rome, NY 13440

"Corey taught both myself and my son and he is an exceptional instructor. Corey is very good at identifying problem areas in experienced drummers and helping to advance your playing. My son, who was an absolute beginner developed a good foundation on the instrument in a fun and low pressure environment. I highly recommend Corey if you are considering lessons."

"When asked to write a review about our drumming experience with Corey I couldn't jump on the opportunity fast enough! We were fortunate to have Corey as my son's drum teacher for several years. But more than that we are now blessed to call him our friend! He is as amazing as a teacher as he is as a person. Corey has an amazing talent that he eagerly shares with all of his students. His eagerness to share his passion is clearly evident at every lesson. He has a unique ability to be able to find ways to relate to each student individually which makes the learning process that much more special. If you're thinking about drumming I can't recommend anyone better to find your rhythm with!!"

"Corey has a unique ability to connect with his students. My son has taken lessons since he was 6. The recitals are unique and contemporary including all levels of skill. My son has scored outstanding or excellent in all of his NYSSMA solos. He was the youngest to compete his first year and scored a 93%. Corey builds self confidence and self esteem with his drum instruction. My son says he loves his sense of humor and is always smiling after his lesson. Corey has instilled a passion for drums that I hope follows him for the rest of his life. Every year I ask my son if he wants to continue with drum lessons and it's been an emphatic yes for the past 6 years. I highly recommend Corey Colmey Drum Instruction."

"Corey is truly a professional. From playing drums with him in high school to watching him teach my daughter, he is one of a kind. His patience, skill level, attention to detail, and love of music are just a handful of things that make Corey a great teacher. I highly recommend Corey to anyone who wants to play this wonderful instrument."

"Corey taught our son to play drums and our son is now playing professionally in Boston. He tried to do the same with me and let’s just say he did his very best. I credit Corey for trying. From Corey’s guidance I learned to play a shuffle. I was coached on how to play many cover tunes. Being able to play song lists competently, with a band of accomplished musicians, was life affirming. Corey is a wonderful instructor. I recommend him to anyone who would like to learn to play the drums, wants to improve their playing, or just wants to have more fun in life."
