“I have been taking drumming lessons with Tido since I was eleven years old. He is an outstanding teacher and mentor. He explains everything really well, and he is good at explaining things in multiple ways.  Working with Tido, I have gotten to know the drum set much better. Tido teaches and challenges you, but he always keeps it fun and stress-free. He is the best drum teacher there is.”

“We couldn’t be happier having Tido teach our son the drums. He has helped our son to become a better drummer, even helping him to successfully audition for the Northeast Regional Orchestra.  We have done in-person and Zoom lessons with Tido, and both work well. He is a pleasure to work with, a very calm and relaxing presence. We highly recommend drum lesson with Tido!”
