Experienced tutor in Drum in Long Beach, Ed offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Perfect! Ed is fantastic with my 6-year-old legend. He is professional, intuitive, creative and fun. Highly recommend him to all kind humans.

Perfect! My son started lessons with Ed in June and continue them today. During this crazy pandemic, we are so grateful to have such a wonderful teacher. Ed has made a great connection with my son even though it is online. My son has been learning through playing, and the improvements are noticeable. Since he is only 6, Ed has made the learning experience fun and playful and within my sons ability at his age. Outside of drums, Ed has also helped my son with stage fright and tips on overcoming the fear. It takes a great teacher to form such a fun relationship with a student through distance learning, and have the lessons transpire well. I would highly recommend Ed for lessons!

Perfect! My son is 8 years old. From my perspective lessons for kids at that age must be fun in order to maintain attention and keep him interested.

Ed does both and more. He starts by incorporating games into his lessons that made the lesson fun while teaching him rhythm. My son got to choose the songs he already likes to listen to, which helps keep him motivated.
When he can no longer keep it together from an attention standpoint Ed focuses on other fun games like learning to flip and twist the drum sticks, something anyone who has seen a drummer do, always wanted to learn.
As lessons progressed, my son has been able to jam along with me while I play along on guitar in a short period of time.

Ed has incorporated accountability and expectations into the lessons as my son has progressed which has ensured he himself continues to progress. One method has been to measure his mistakes within the play through of an entire song compared to his other classmates at similar ages. This also motivates my son to practice and to try hard.
I can’t say enough how much I recommend Ed to anyone who has a child who wants to learn drums. My son had a drum set but mostly used it to make as much noise as possible when he was bored. I tried to teach him basics to play along with me but didn’t get anywhere.
Ed has changed all of that and has my son playing along, and changing beats with the changes within the song in only a few months.
He doesn’t take a cookie cutter approach to his teaching either. His strategy changes as my son develops which gives me confidence in him. Plus my son idolizes him and looks forward to his lessons!!
Once again I highly recommend Ed for anyone who would like to have their child learn the drums.

Perfect! Ed is an incredibly patient, fun, creative drum instructor. Our 13-year-old daughter is learning a lot and having fun at the same time!
