Been my drum teacher for more than half my life. I’m in a band now and stuff it’s cool. Any level of experience works, I was a beginner and now I’ve been going for 8 years. I still take lessons, 10/10 would recommend.

Best drum teacher ever! My son has been taking lessons here for years and has learned so much and has become a great drummer thanks to Beau (and a lot of hard work).

Beau has been a patient and expert drum teacher for my son for many years. He brings extensive drumming experience, and incorporates popular music into the lessons that students can get excited about, while delving into classic fundamentals as well. Highly recommended!

My son loves his drum lessons. It’s the first activity he has been really excited about, and wanting to stick with. Beau is a great teacher, and is great with his students. The studio is awesome, clean, masks are worn, social distancing and hand sanitizer are practiced.Highly recommend!

Beau Askew is a great instructor, musician, mentor and friend - and the downtown location is big, clean and a cool place to hang and play drums. I would highly recommend drum lessons with Beau! You won’t regret giving it a try, and the first lesson is always free.

My son has been taking lessons with Beau Askew and at the Drum Loft for 5 years, and he absolutely loves it. Additionally, his skills as a drummer continue to improve. Beau is professional, motivated to teach, and has become a friend and mentor to my now teenage son. During these difficult times with COVID, Beau has been on top of health regulations, and is cleaning and social distancing so that lessons are safe. I would highly recommend him and the Drum Loft.

My son has been taking lessons with Beau for a few years now and really enjoys it! The lessons are a great mix of technique, growth and simply jammin’. Beau has a great rapport with the students. His knowledge and passion can be seen through his teachings. He’s willing to work with our busy schedule and even held zoom classes during the spring months when COVID-19 shut everything down. The Drum Loft is conveniently located in historic Downtown Grass Valley. It’s a wonderful, bright and open space. If you’re looking for an incredible opportunity for your child (or you!) to have a musical and creative outlet, call Beau now and schedule some lessons!

I would have to say the students and their families are the star of the show. I’ve always felt very supported by our community. I’m grateful to teach in such a nice space.
