"Rob
greatly improved my sight reading and hand/foot technique. He
also taught me the most important lesson of my career, how to
become a professional drummer. I have now performed on the Tonight
Show with Jay Leno, Ellen, Craig Ferguson, Today Show and I am
currently a Los Angeles session drummer. He continues to inspire,
cultivate and support me years after my first lesson with him.
Thank you bro!"
