Nick is an excellent drum teacher that loves to teach. It really shows in how he teaches me in every lesson. In our first lesson, we went over my goals and every lesson afterwards has been to reach that goal. His lesson recaps help a lot with retention as well. 10/10 would recommend!!

I can't believe we found Alex to teach our son drumlessons! His energy is amazing, he is incredibly knowledgeable and I was truly amazed and relieved at how well he connects, supports and coaches our son doing remote lessons only. I also feel, as the parent, that Alex is incredibly easy to work with, easy to connect with and does a great job of responding to my questions and concerns as I try to support my son in the ups and downs of a kid learning to play an instrument. My son loves his lessons and looks forward to them every week. We are very appreciative of all that he does!!!

Thumbtack Customer
I am a busy Mom of two teens and work full-time, so the dream of playing drums had been set on the back burner for many years. When I finally decided it was time to set aside time for myself, I went searching Google and found Thumbtack. I sent email to two or three other drum teachers and Nick stood out immediately, with how flexible he was schedule wise. I needed Saturdays at a certain time and he was able to accommodate without hesitation. I was really looking forward to finding someone on the west side of Portland where I live but after communicating with Nick via email, I was sold. We setup an appointment for a lesson the following Saturday and thus began my drumming education.
Nick is a big man but his smile and his heart of gold will make anyone feel welcome. Each and every time I come for a lesson, he makes me feel like I am the only person that matters and his focus in on me from start to finish. He is very patient and has always allowed me time to adjust without making me feel pressured to perform. Nick encouraged me to bring in music that I wanted to learn and took the time to show me everything from setting up a drum kit to more advanced Afro-Cuban polyrhythms.
His deep wealth of knowledge in all types of music and the passion he shows for it, makes Nick very special. I would recommend Nick to anyone that is looking for a patient, knowledgeable practitioner in percussion and friend to be taught by.
