Started taking lessons with Brett 18 years ago when I was 13 years old, and have to say, I learned more from him than any teacher on my musical journey.
He prepared me for numerous auditions spanning from rock and jazz bands to drumlines and performance groups. He inspired me to push myself harder and it ended up paying off ten-fold. A few examples of my successes due to Brett include making the tenor line on the ASU drumline as a freshman, becoming a paid musician as part of PHX percussion (Phoenix Suns Drumline), working as a touring musician in a band throughout my early 20's including gigs on the Warped Tour and multiple national tours and preparing me for teaching opportunities at Ironwood and St. Mary's High Schools.
To say Brett had a profound influence on my life would be an understatement. He can give you the tools, it depends on how the student chooses to use them.
I do see one negative review referencing his teaching style. Brett provides one-hour sessions, sometimes with multiple students of the same skill level, which gives you an opportunity to work through complicated rhythms during the lesson rather than getting a crash course in 30 minutes like most other instructors. He is as hands on as you need him to be. This was the only environment that I felt I actually learned in rather than going home and teaching myself.
Still to this day, I go in and take occasional lessons with Brett to help me continue to develop different styles and expand my knowledge base. I recommended my brother start taking my nephew in to start his journey in drums with him when he turned 8 and I will definitely be taking my children in someday (if I have them in time before he retires)!
To summarize, if you want to get kick ass at drums, go see Brett.
