My son enjoyed the lesson with Ned as the lesson was customized based on his choice of songs. He could instantly connect and would like to continue ...working with Ned. Show more
1 HR ZOOM lesson with Ned
by Ned
Ned is a fantastic drumming instructor. He has greatly improved my technique and skill. Having lessons via ZOOM where I can use my own kit has been ...beneficial as Ned has provided input on my kit setup, i.e. the position of the drums and cymbals. This has allowed me to develop an ambidextrous approach to drumming which is much more fluid and natural. I also appreciate close inspection of my body position and handling of the drum sticks as I move around the kit developing speed. Show more

My son has been studying with Ned for almost two years. This is a great experience. He respects and likes Ned. He can practice drums by himself. He al...so likes to practice skills. Under the influence of ned, he has a great experience in music, feeling and understanding. By the way, his remote teaching is very cool. He can clearly see your movements and give timely advice. You can also see his coordinated teaching of different body parts. Show more

Ned taught my son to play drums. I always admired his approach to teaching- laid back and wanting it to be fun, but focused on making sure positioning... was correct to prevent injury and that students were practicing correctly. I’ve always wanted to play drums and now with the pandemic thought I’d reach out and try. I’m in Manila and he is in the U.S., but the lesson went really well! He has platforms he uses for practicing and helped with all the tech support. I highly recommend! Show more

This is an update review for Zoom format. In the beginning of pandemic I was hesitant to try Zoom lessons, not sure how it works with lagging and soun...d distortion. Ned upgraded equipments and made adjustments to make lessons work well. With multiple cameras, I get top/ side views, and closeup of bass drum pedal. The sound is actually ok. I can record lessons for practices later. These are great benefits. I teach music too so I know Ned's setup is excellent for online lessons. Give it a try. Show more

Although the course was changed to video because of COVID-19, I am still satisfied with the effect of the class. Ned tried many ways to make my child ...understand what he meant. His technique is great. I hope my son can realize.Ned has enough patience. Thanks for doing us in class, helping us overcome language difficulties. Show more

Our son is older and self taught. We brought him to Ned to work on technique and improve his skills. Ned is able and willing to adjust the lesson pl...ans according to where a student is and what they want to learn. Ned has been able to work with him on technique without our son feeling he's trying to change him. Also, having the recitals is a fun and positive experience for the students as well as the parents and is great for the students to perform in front of others to build confidence. Show more

My son has been doing drum lessons with Ned since last fall when he turned 6. Ned has a great personality and is great with the kids even when Maru is... having a bad day. We will continue to use Ned for lessons as long we live here. Thanks Ned! Show more

Before coming to Seattle, my son studied drumming for more than a year, but he always avoided the drumming practice at home. So he learns slowly. Luck...ily, we came to Seattle last year and found Ned on Google! His methods were excellent, and his enthusiasm and experience captured my son directly. Although he is only 9 years old, he does all the exercises at home by himself and makes rapid progress. If you have an active son or daughter, it is highly recommended that you bring him t Show more

Brian is rarely asking to come back when we introduce him to any new activity as a 5-yr old. BUT this time, he asks to do drum again. He was cranky an...d difficult from early afternoon nap but Ned got him excited and worked on the drum really hard. 5-star 2-thumb up!! Show more

If I had more time, I would also take drum lessons with Ned. I always sit with my son during his lesson and my son has so much fun- a huge smile on hi...s face, and he is learning so much. Ned stays focused and makes sure that my son learns something new every time. He helps with giving us music for my son to practice. Ned is also a very kind person and very nice to the kids. It's hard to find teachers who are not impatient or bored, but instead having as much fun as the kids. Highly recommend! Show more

I played in a band before and wanted my son to understand how much fun that is. The other night in his lesson he was playing along to one of his favor...ite songs and Ned would jump in and accent the beat or give him new things to try and the joy and smile on my son's face was just priceless. I thought to myself- he gets it! Ned prioritizes good form but also knows kids learn best when they are having fun. My son is already talking about forming a band with his friends. Show more

After taking the first lesson with him, my son just wanted to keep going back. He is looking forward to his drum lesson every week. Ned is not only te...aching my son but he is teaching me how to encourage him and making him more resilient while still having a lot of fun. Very professional and great with kids. Show more

I am an older adult student with no experience playing drums. Ned has been very patient and encouraging, always ready to answer my numerous questions,... and is willing to work with me on what interests me. He is professional, engaging, and loves music. It's beautiful to hear him play, and he plays all styles. I see his younger students always enthusiastic coming to lessons and that tells you something about him. I highly recommend Ned if you are looking for a drum teacher. Show more
