    "For the past two years Dave Rodenhiser has been a wonderful and invaluable drum teacher for our ten year old son. Calming, kind, and good-natured, he is completely thorough yet still easy-going. Indicative of Dave's initiative and commitment to learning, he has written a helpful bound notebook for his students to supplement his teachings. Judging from our son's learning trajectory, Dave is an awesome teacher of this multifaceted instrument."

  "Dave is the best drum teacher ever on the planet!  In two years he's taught me so much.  I'm so glad he is my teacher.  I can't wait for my lessons every week, because he shows me so much stuff in just 45 minutes.  I love having lessons with him.  I think anyone who has Dave for a teacher is very lucky!"

    "I started taking drum lessons from Dave three years ago with my son, Jared.  At the time I was 36 and Jared was 10.  Over these three years I have learned so much from Dave. He has captured Jared's attention (which is no easy task) and has him developing into an exceptional drummer while having a great time doing it !  This is due to his ability to make learning easy.  Dave is an expert drummer and his easy going, patient style and enthusiasm makes the weekly hour we spend a great experience.  Dave is the consummate professional, arriving at my home always on time and always prepared with new music to learn, whether it is rudiments, syncopation techniques or playing rock and roll ! He is great at breaking down the skills into understandable parts.  He allows me to set my own goals and is flexible in helping me achieve them.  I could not have asked for a better learning experience.  He is one of the nicest guys around and I highly recommend Dave for someone who wants to learn the skill but really enjoy the art."

"I started taking lessons from Dave when I was 13.
When I started I knew absolutley nothing. There was nothing more exciting then going to my lessons and playing on a real kit right from the beginning. Dave is a great teacher, who took the extra time to help me learn and get anything I was stuck on. When I got my first drum kit he came to my house helped me put it together and tune it. I'm 20 now and he has always been very supportive about advancing my skills as a musician wether it be on drums, playing in a band, or audio production. Dave is an all around great guy and I would recommend him to ANYONE!!!
Andrew H, Saugus, MA.

Thanks, Dave"
