The Drummer's Den

Bryan is an exceptional drum instructor. My son has been studying with him for 6 years, beginning at the age of 7. As a professional musician and public school music teacher myself, I am continually impressed by the musicianship, technical mastery, and quality of sound that my son is achieving through this instruction. He is able to play multiple styles/genres and enjoys performing. He can play by ear and read drum scores with fluency thanks to Bryan's instruction.

I told my son that he needed to pick an instrument to play, he chose the drums. The day of his lesson he was telling me that he didn't want to play the drums anymore and that he changed his mind. He was trying to get me to cancel. I told him we weren't going to cancel 2 hours before his lesson. I told him he had to at least go to this one and if he didn't like it we can change to something else.

When I picked him up he had a totally different attitude. He was excited and he definitely wanted to keep going. He really liked Bryan. We have only had one lesson so far but I can say Bryan is very patient and a very good instructor for my son to completely change his attitude like he did.

This dude is awesome! You know you're in the presence of a patient master of the arts when you take a drum lesson from Bryan. Not that he's boastful, you just feel at ease right away with the fun and challenging approach to the lessons. Can't wait to book another. I'm hooked!

Great place to get lessons. Bryan is a great teacher! He has been doing it for yeas! Thanks my man!

My son has been taking lessons with Bryan at the Drummers Den for over 10 years. He is now in college in NYC getting paid gigs and cutting albums with a well-known NYC-area touring band. He was a pure beginner with Bryan all those years ago. Bryan has turned him into a professional drummer through patience and lots of one on one training. So, I am able to state absolutely that Bryan has the talent, skill and patience to work with you or your drummer will ALL LEVELS of skill.

Not some YMCA-like School of Rock - a talented drummer who will give your student the one on one training and practice skills to take him from a newbie to a skilled drummer. Ask Bryan for our email if you need a more detailed recommendation. We are HUGE fans! All of Bryan's 5-star reviews are well-deserved.

After only two lessons with Bryan, we both played a Pitbull song at the end of the lesson. Had way too much fun. I practice as much as I can with my practice pad at home so I can try whatever he asks me to do next time.it's never too late to start lol! I'm having a blast!

I am a former student of Bryan Hawkesworth and a long time customer of The Drummer's Den. I began taking lessons with Bryan when I was eight years old. I am now seventeen and applying to Berklee College of Music. The progress I made having Bryan as a teacher is unparalleled. I purchased a used drum kit from The Drummer's Den for a substantially low price and have been nothing but happy with it. I strongly recommend The Drummer's Den and am beyond grateful for having met Bryan and taking lessons from him.

I have played guitar and bass for over 40 years. As a songwriter, I needed to learn drums for backed on my demo CD's. I called Bryan and explained my desires. He taught me to play all styles of music building from a foundation stick control basics, practice exercises, and positive motivation. The Drummers Den was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Bryan!

My daughter has been taking drum lessons from Bryan for six years. He is a great teacher and keeps her motivated to learn new skills and techniques week after week. She is in high school now and her drumline just received their first drum caption of the marching band season. Bryan's dedication has paid foward through my daughter to her peers.

We have been customers of Bryan at the Drummer's Den for four years. We have purchased several drum sets at great prices. Bryan has a great selection of drums, sticks, heads and other stuff. Bryan has taught our son from beginner to expert and keeps him interested. We highly recommend the Drummer's Den and Bryan for all levels of drum lessons and for all your drum equipment needs.
