"Our 6-year-old son LOVES his lessons with Mr. Zach. His patience and enthusiasm for teaching our kiddo drums is unwavering. He breaks down the skills in a way that connects to the child's developmentally appropriate level. Our son has had massive growth in reading and math this year and I truly believe that there is a connection to learning music with Zach."

"I really enjoy taking lessons from Zach. I started with regular drums and was not sure if they were a fit. When I decided to try a different kind of drum he was on board and open to it. I appreciate his time and lessons they are fun and informative. I would recommend him."

“Zach West is an amazing drum instructor. He is patient and lets you set the pace. He has supported me a lot while I've been learning, and lets me decide what I want to focus on. Zach has really encouraged me, and I've become really successful with his help. He is also an awesome drummer.”

SAULE B (Age 13)

"I think it's awesome! We get to play music together, and I am able to learn any song whenever I want. Even while online, I am still able to learn a lot of the rudiments, and his upbeat attitude makes it easy for me to stay focused."

AEDAN

"My son was losing enthusiasm for playing an instrument until we found Zach. At 9, I'm happy to say my son is learning his instrument and also realizing how much fun it can be, even if it means practice and some work. I highly recommend Zach because his love of music comes through in every lesson, and he is serious about engaging kids where they are."

“I’ve been studying with Zach West for almost one year and really appreciate his method as something challenging yet possible. My confidence as a drummer has grown and my hand / brain connection has matured because of my studies. I’m eagerly looking forward to my next gig and using my new, improved skill set.”

MATT J

"Zach always talks about drumming being therapeutic and stress-relieving. I didn’t really know how true it was until I really dove into the lessons. It helps me deal with my anger, sadness, and other feelings that were an obstacle before embracing drumming. Now these feelings are an inspiration.”

ERIN

“I like drum lessons with Zach because he makes it fun and easier for me. He lets me choose the words for our grooves. He is always happy.”

HAILEY

“Drum lessons with Zach has been great for my daughter. Not only does he teach her drums, but also encompasses music theory and mathematical concepts she can connect with in her everyday life. He is flexible with scheduling and great at understanding a 9 year old’s changing attention spans.”

JENNIFER

"Zach has a skill for making complicated things simple. It was my story for a very long time that I do not have rhythm and cannot play music. Zach has helped me rewrite this story and to prove it untrue. Music is magic and I am beyond grateful to have such a talented, creative, inspiring guide!"
