Tim is a top notch drum instructor. He started teaching my son Will when he was 4 years old and has guided him along with patience and knowledge. Will is now 13 years old and is not only an excellent drummer, but truly enjoys it. Much of this is due to teachings of Tim. He taught Will how read music as well as improvise which has allowed my son to have the confidence necessary to play in front of large groups of people with ease. If anyone is remotely interested in becoming a drummer, I highly recommend Tim @ RhythmSTL. You will see amazing results.
