Fresh Coast Music - Drum School

"Jeff is a phenominal drum teacher and super nice guy. I have learned more about my drum playing in a few lessons than I did in years taking lessons from other teachers. I was lucky to find him!!"

"I found Jeff searching for adult drum lessons - I’m 35 and haven’t played drums in many years. Jeff was up for the challenge. Since I’ve started working with Jeff, I’ve done a good amount of “rust shedding” and I can see that I’ve come a long way in a relatively short time. I continue to learn more each lesson, while also pushing the envelope each week. Re-building a solid foundation is no easy task. His patience is unparalleled and he’s truly passionate about music - about drums. Thanks for taking me under your wing Jeff!!"

"We are so very pleased we found Jeff to provide lessons to our 10 year old son- he has been playing for years but never had formal lessons. What an amazing experience it has been to watch Jeff work with him as he improves his skills immensely. Jeff is so patient and kind and he treats our son (and us) with complete respect. His methods are extremely thorough and we like how he uses advanced vocabulary and terms to introduce new concepts yet explains himself well when necessary. Jeff clearly enjoys himself and takes pride in what he does and it shows every minute of the lessons. One thing he always says is that he is a mentor and not a teacher and that he is learning all the time too- what a great way to approach a student! Though his lessons are challenging, they are NEVER overwhelming- Jeff makes sure to fuel our son's passion for drumming by always reminding him that it must remain fun! Additionally, he has a great studio with advanced technology and an awesome drum set. We highly recommend Fresh Coast Music- Thanks Jeff!"

"I found Jeff randomly from a google search and have been taking lessons for a few months under a year now. I am a classically trained musician with years of performance experience and came to Jeff looking to get in to the drums. I was and to this day am completely blown away by his versatility, knowledge, and passion when it comes to percussion playing. The approach he takes to teaching and playing is incredibly thought out and comes from a lifetime of mastering this craft. Every bit of information I get from him is more valuable than the last and as a teacher he is one of the most patient and encouraging I've ever experienced. He's also a funny and friendly guy as well. As a teacher and as a person, any way you can experience Jeff Taylor will be a blessing."
