I started taking lessons as a complete beginner, and I have come a long way with Chris’s help. Chris is a very patient and encouraging teacher, who is also an extremely skilled player. I have been learning about proper technique, reading music, playing grooves and fills, as well as how to think about the drums as an instrument. Chris has done a great job of really tailoring the lessons to me, often using real world examples from some of my favorite songs and artists to demonstrate concepts. Chris has had quite a flexible lesson plan with me, enabling me to really explore the concepts and techniques within drumming that I find most interesting. I would highly recommend Chris to drummers of all ages and levels.

I can’t say enough good things about Chris. He has been giving lessons to our 5-year-old for several months now, and everything about it has been great. Chris is kind, patient, thoughtful, flexible, and an insanely good drummer. Our son is quickly progressing and loves it!

Chris is such an amazing teacher that I was playing full on grooves by lesson 3 (I’ve never played the drums before). He’s patient, and really listens to what you want to get out of the lessons (all while providing expert and professional guidance on how to get you there). I’d 110% recommend drum lessons with him.

Chris is an amazing teacher who is very well rounded with his instrument. He can teach you things that you never would’ve learned on your own, and that’s just one of the many things he bring to the table. He’s both creative and fun on the way he teaches and is great with the way he gives you information.

Chris Palace is a wonderful and talented teacher and drummer. I started two months ago and am already writing my own beats, preparing for a competition, and feeling good about my skills and my progress. Without reservation, I highly recommend this school.🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Chris is a great dude, personalizes his lessons and was open to diving into some genres he doesn’t normally explore and I really cannot express how much gratitude I have for him being as flexible as he is with scheduling and accommodating to me as a student. The guy kills it on the drums and definitely knows his stuff and I’m happy to call him my drum instructor.

Chris is the first/best drum teacher I ever had! Cool demonstration, explain things intuitively and easy to follow, very patient, nice notes and course material, courses are prepared very well. Now I can have fun play drum myself after several lessons. Enjoy the class!

Chris is a highly skilled, patient teacher who celebrates his students’ natural strengths and works thoroughly on their weaknesses. His focus and passion are infectious. He is an extremely skilled drummer, and he finesses a crazy range of styles. Chris is that rare teacher who is equally inclined towards both teaching and performing, giving his students a magical hands-on perspective that is really inspiring.

I am so incredibly happy that I picked Chris to give my son drum lessons! He is patient and so nice. I appreciate how encouraging and positive he is and I am excited to see all that my son has learned already.

Great teacher, great dude. Learning a lot, and faster than I ever thought possible!

My name is Paul and Im 9 years old. This guy is amazing!!!!!! I would definitely recommend him. He plays in two bands. It is really easy to understand what he teaches you.

Chris is a wonderful teacher. He is patient with my son and dedicated to his growth as a drummer!
