"Beyond happy with Doyle Drums. My son has come a long way in a matter of months. Can’t wait to see how much better he will become. Brian is a great teacher and super professional. He shows great enthusiasm and makes my son feel comfortable and most importantly confident. My son looks forward to drumming lessons every week and wishes to one day be as good as Brian." Yvette Valdez
"Brian is so awesome! He has been giving my son (age 6) lessons for 13 months now and I can honestly say that I am just amazed at the progress that my son has shown. I sat in a lesson a few weeks ago and video taped my son playing "Uptown Funk" and it brought tears to my eyes! Thank you Brian for your patience, making it fun, and pushing my son out of his comfort level" Elissa Kagen
"Our son has been taking drum lessons for about two years now. Under Brian's instruction, he performed AC/DC's Back in Black after just half a year, and Counting Stars by One Republic at the one-year mark (both full versions, not simplified). He has learned increasingly complex drum parts since then. He's currently playing Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana and Heavy Dirty Soul by 21 Pilots. And again, these are the full versions, as played by the bands' drummers, not simplified or easier-to-play versions of the songs.
To be fair, our son DOES practice, so don't expect similar results if your kid doesn't practice. But either way, Brian is an excellent teacher, capable of breaking down complex beats in such a way that young kids can learn them, and even more importantly, keeping it all fun. Because after all, having fun is a huge part of playing drums, and Brian excels in that regard as well!" Floyd Ross
"I would highly recommend Doyle drums for anyone old or young who wishes to learn drums or improve on what they already know. I have two kids 10, and 8 who both take lessons from Brian Doyle. As a middle school teacher myself, I was immediately impressed at Brian’s teaching style. The patience he displays with my kids is amazing. He is able to relay his lesson to the kids in such an easy and understandable way. One key aspect of Brian’s instruction is that he makes it fun for the kids. He knows kids learn better when they are having fun. The fact that he had my kids playing songs within a few weeks displays what a great instructor he is. When I say they were playing songs in a couple of weeks , I am referring to real songs, not twinkle twinkle, or hot cross buns, but real songs we hear on the radio. I am completely satisfied with the lesson my sons have received and look forward to more. If you or your child wish to learn drums check out Doyle drums! 11 out of 10!" John Charmello
"Brian is a gifted teacher! My son has been going to lessons for three months and his time with Brian is the highlight of his week. We’re so hooked we just bought our son his own drum set! If you’re looking for a great teacher you’ve just found one." Nigel Thomas
"Learn how to play drums in virtually any style you want. Learn how to take care of your gear, what to buy, what NOT to buy, learn how to tune your drums. Brush up on your techniques whether it's power or finesse, beginning or advanced. Simply talking to Brian about drums makes you a better drummer. Lessons feel natual to your ability and you leave each lesson feeling as though you have improved." Lloyd Uhls
"Brian calmly, patiently and eloquently breaks down what I need to learn in a way that I can digest and then execute. He keeps challenging me and moving me forward in a way that keeps me feeling empowered, motivated, effective and excited about practicing, learning & playing. I feel like I’m getting the foundation I need to become fluid enough so that I can continue to have fun playing alone or with other band members." Renee Dokmanovich
"Brian is a great teacher. My 8 year-old son and I have both taken lessons from him and he has been able to teach us each according to our interests, our ability, and our developmental level. Highly recommended!" John Williams
"An AMAZING teacher in so many capacities! Of the ever so many ways there are to transmit information from one person to another, Brian has by far one of the best approaches to holistic instruction that I have ever seen. Not only is the instruction he provides top notch, but the way he approaches each students learning style is what sets him apart. He tailors the information to make sure it is easily received, understood, digested, and applied." David McManus
