My daughter has been with the Littleton Drum Studio since she was 3 (she's 7 now), and we've nothing but good things to say about Jake's instruction.Very good with kids, and very much about finding the things that a drummer wants to play...all while finding the right techniques that will help them get even better (rudiments...ah yes....rudiments) for the sake of them growing their own style and reaching their own goals.We highly recommend Jake, and all the other resources the Littleton Drum Studio has to offer.
