"Inspired drum teacher"
Review of Kyle Schweikhard and Drum sync , October 19, 2008
I've been taking conga lessons from Kyle for close to a year now and my drumming has reached new heights.
I had been drumming for a while on my own, but felt like there was more I wanted to say with my drums.
Kyle is very encouraging and fun to work with, as well as being a great teacher. I have learned so much from him, gaining in technique and confidence along the way.
