My 40+ years of drumming & teaching experience will help you become a better drummer!

"My teenage daughter has been taking lessons from Marty for 3 1/2 years. He is the perfect instructor for her. She likes that he teaches her about multiple aspects of drumming, including rudiments, reading music & playing along with songs. When he corrects her playing, he compliments her on the parts she did right & then challenges her to improve on her weaknesses. He's super patient. It's been great watching her skills develop. I highly recommend Marty as a drum teacher!"

"My son loves lessons with Marty! Unlike his last teacher who only worked on the same exercises week after week, Marty keeps things fresh by doing hand exercises, book exercises, playing along with songs, playing back and forth on 2 drum sets, and Marty also plays guitar so sometimes they just "jam". He actually looks forward to lessons now and he's making great progress. Highly recommended!"

"I have seen firsthand the positive impact that Marty can make on his students. My daughter has been taking drum lessons from him for the past two years, and she has made tremendous progress. And, perhaps more importantly, she now gets really excited about practicing and going to her lessons.”

Abby P.

"Marty has an upbeat and encouraging coaching style of teaching. He is able to break down songs and rhythms I might be struggling with and explain them to me in a way that I can easily understand. He then offers exercises and practice techniques that I can use to play them accurately and confidently. Highly recommend!”
