Thumbtack Customer
I'm an intermediate level drummer who was seeking lessons to help bring my playing to the next level and I found Brian Fruechtenicht here on thumbtack. I have to say, having taken drum lessons before that this experience has been unlike any other. Brian's novel approach may seem unorthodox if you come into lessons with any preconceived notion of what drum lessons should be like, however his unique take on them (not to mention his enthusiasm) really conveys a lot of the practical knowledge that helps change good drummers into great drummers. In my own drumming, I feel like my style had become rote, but Brian helped me find more creativity behind the kit. I play for a band and I have to say even that sounds leagues better since beginning lessons with Brian Fruechtenicht, and those lessons tend to be some of the most fun I have all week. Brian Fruechtenicht gets a high recommendation from me!

I started lessons with Andrew in June 2014 . I myself is a seasoned bassist and guitarist for 35 years, I needed to take drum lessons because I frequently have to cover on a drumset in a church band ,I have basic skills but I wanted to learn the right techniques . I am pleased with Andrews teaching methods he observes what the student needs to work on and assigns exercises that aids to improve drumming skills , he is enthusiastic , professional and fun to work with I highly recommend him for all skill levels.
Drum Lessons with AndrewThumbtack Customer
I took lessons from Brian for almost two years. When I started, I was just getting back to drumming after years of break and trying to pick it up before I signed up for a band in Blue Bear School of Music. What I loved about Brian's teaching style is that his emphasis on improvisation and feeling what sounds good versus bad. At lessons played a variety of rhythms in our heads to get started followed by playing the songs that we pick. I love his way of teaching feeling. Moreover, also, he is super fun and friendly to talk to, and every week the lessons with him were my excellent therapy to boost my mood. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to build a solid foundation to their drumming.
