I was amazed to be playing the drum set in just one lesson with Stefano. There’s something about his calm and patient approach that magically turned the key for me. He’s a perfect teacher for me because of his organized, systematic teaching and his friendly, encouraging style.
I’ve secretly been in love with the drums for many years but was too shy to admit it. Finally, I decided to put my fears aside and try just for the sheer joy of it.
I’ve progressed quickly and painlessly in relatively few lessons while having fun playing to my favorite songs. Every class is FUN.
I was one of those kids banging on my desk with two pencils. My mom was never able to afford lessons but as an adult, I wanted drum lessons. I didn’t care how much it would cost. That is when I found Stefano Ashbridge. I called and set up a drum lesson with him.
I was nervous. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about the drums. It was a shock when I was able to keep up with everything he was showing me. Stefano made learning how to play the drums simple. Everything he teaches builds upon itself after every lesson so it's not overwhelming.
I am a self-taught drummer from the 60s. After 30 years of not drumming, I wanted to play again but I felt left in the dust by today’s drummers. After a couple months with Stefano, I am flying. He sees what you can do and can’t do. He makes you add and get rid of. He’s a great drummer.
What a great feeling it is to see what I have accomplished, including playing drums on the Eric Anders show. My only regret is I wish I had met him sooner.

I tried to teach myself to play using YouTube but realized I needed a sense of discipline to formally learn the basics (especially since I wanted to learn the traditional grip). That’s what made me seek out a teacher.
What I really love about classes with Stefano is that we discuss musical preferences, expectations, and goals for the class right away during the first meeting. Additionally, I really like how he structures the lessons, which makes them and my practice sessions much more enjoyable and something that I look forward to.
Stefano is so understanding and always helpful. It makes a world of difference when you have a teacher that genuinely wants the best for their students. Stefano is definitely the one to go to.
I went in knowing nothing about drumming, and I am now a member of my high school varsity drumline because of Stefano. He makes learning fun and is always available by phone or email if I have any questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m not coordinated enough?
We all have a sense of rhythm. I will help you develop your coordination, step by step, to have you playing the drums the way you want.
I don’t have a drum kit.
No problem. Many students, myself included, started with a practice pad and sticks. I started with weekly lessons on a drum set and practiced on a practice pad at home.
I’m afraid I won’t stick with it.
Try a risk free trial lesson. These lessons are fun and rewarding. When you see consistent improvements from your efforts, your motivation to keep doing it will continue.
Am I too old to start learning the drums?
It’s never too late to start. Drumming is a great physical activity, it keeps your mind sharp, and helps relieve stress. I’ve taught students well into their 80s and they had a blast expressing themselves through the drums.
Drums are too loud for where I live.
There are drum set and practice options for quiet playing that I can help you with; from practice pad kits, electric drum sets, and muffling acoustic drums and cymbals.
