"If you want to learn the drums, look no further than Austin. He is an excellent teacher, very patient and breaks it down so that anyone can learn. My 14 year old daughter loves taking lessons from him and he keeps it interesting even for a teenager. She quickly learned the basics, then got to move on to playing music which was the fun part for her. Highly, highly recommend Austin!"
"Austin is an amazing drum teacher. My 9 year old son has been learning with Austin for nearly a year and he has grown so much! Austin has a knack for breaking down the concepts in an easy to understand way, and manages to keep my squirrelly son engaged, which is no small feat. He is kind, understanding and extremely flexible. 10/10 would definitely recommend."
"Austin is a very knowledgeable, approachable and competent instructor! Our lessons with him were both educational and enjoyable! We highly recommend him for beginners and experienced drummers alike!!"
"Austin is a terrific instructor - patient, extremely knowledgeable, and clear. After playing guitar for years I wanted to expand my musical horizons with drum lessons, and was fortunate to find Austin. I have enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended. Take drum lessons - life is short!"
"I ( arthur robertson) found Austin by google search for local drummers. My plan was to move my attention from African drumming to Kit drumming and formal lessons. I was pleasantly surprised when i saw Austin's internet page that he is both a "western" kit drummer but also hand drumming tabla ,djembe, and other hand drums. Wow i thought he's my guy. So i gave him a call and off we went lessons weekly, for past six months. I'm a believer in one to one lessons and Austin is great. He has a really nice studio in Thousand Oaks, where he has two full drum kits, practice pads, hand drums , and more. I told him i wanted it all. Learn to read drum music, learn percussion in general , and drum kit. He was happy and ready to get me on my way. He always makes me feel comfortable (despite my lack of practice at times), has new things for us to explore, hand outs, references , always going back to basics and not rushing the process. It takes time and practice to move forward. Anyways he's a great teacher , a dedicated teacher , with all the right attributes. Yeah Austin. Oh and by the way I'm 68 years old and still learning ."
