"Jeff is amazing. As a former music education major, and someone who has been involved in music and music education the majority of my life I couldn't be happier working with him. Jeff knows what he's talking about. His passion for drumming and music combined with his real world experience as a gigging drummer makes him one of the beast teachers I've ever had."
