Our son has been playing drums for over 3 years and Jon has been his instructor from day one. Jon…read morehas taken our sons ability from only being able to hold the sticks to most recently rocking out and drumming Metallica and Nirvana. Our son has learned to drum Rock, Metal, classics like the Beatles and even some Pop. Jon is very talented and covers a wide range of genres, he is patient, encouraging and is great at being able to coach and connect with kids. If you or your kids are considering drums, Jon is great. You won't be disappointed. My opinion, you do need to give it some time. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't come right away. It takes a few months to really see results but Jon will get you there.

My 11-year-old son has been playing drums for 6 years. Jon was his second teacher for 4 years since…read morewe moved to San Diego. To me, learning drums is a lonely process, especially in the beginning. Imagine an 8 years old little boy sitting in front of a drum set which was huge to him, playing repeated simple patterns. However, my son continues drumming and starting jamming songs with his friends. Jon is always patient and kind to my boy. He listens to my son's ideas and struggles. He keeps him motivated and excited about his lessons. Jon published his own drum method book and it was very easy for my son to pick up because of the child-friendly colored guide. We went to Jon's performances and roadshows, it showed my son a pathway for what a drummer can be. Highly recommended!

I brought my Modulus M92 5-string bass to Brandon. I love…read morethe bass, but I there was no battery compartment door on the back on my bass like I had seen in photos of the same model. I had to lift the 'pickguard' plate to change the two batteries. While replacing the batteries, I had inadvertently disconnected the ground wire more than once. Brandon created an enclosed back door entry to the battery compartment. Now I can easily pop the 2 9 volts in and out. He did a beautiful job. The bass looks like it was born this way.

I've met both owners, each with their own personalities, and I always found them to be professional. I wouldn't be returning often if they were anything less. Guitar Center isn't far, but these guys do such great work that I couldn't dare to go anywhere else.
