Jeff Bissett Music

I'm an older guy who has been taking drum lessons with Jeff for about 6-8 months and he is the goods. He has just the right combination of patience and push that a great teacher needs. He's friendly and encouraging and a fantastic drummer. Very highly recommended.

As an adult playing drums as a hobby, I was so fortunate to find Jeff when I decided I wanted to start improving my skills. He came in prepared, listened to my needs, assessed where I was, and immediately put a plan in place. I’ve been with him for a year now, and I have really enjoyed the experience and how my skills have improved. He helps me work on my foundation, but also makes sure I am having fun. He’s very patient, easy to work with, supportive, and kind. Anyone looking to learn drums at any level or age would greatly benefit from working with Jeff!

My son has been taking lessons from Jeff for a year now and our experience has been fantastic. Jeff is courteous, positive and always smiling. His passion for teaching and enthusiasm around music is contagious. What I most appreciate is his ability to meet our student where he is in his learning process and intuitively draw him up to the next level. Jeff has been great at bringing out the best in our young player, always encouraging and providing the right balance of work and fun. 

From my son: 
Jeff is great. He recommended great books to learn from. I got to learn which ever songs I wanted to learn but he would input if he thought the song was too advanced. He is always on time and super nice.

My son has been taking lessons with Jeff for 9 months now. When he first started, he had no experience. Jeff has made it a really positive growing opportunity for my son with his patience and knowledge. He is an enthusiastic teacher and always shows up with a smile. It has been a real blessing to our family because I am a single mom of 2 and getting kids to lessons can be a challenge. I was really impressed when he started with reading music from day one, and keeping it interesting as they progress.

After the past 7 months of lessons for my 9 year old daughter, I highly recommend Jeff. His lessons are obviously planned out ahead of time and he wastes no time jumping into it. Homework is clear and explained well ahead of time so my daughter knows exactly what to work on before her next lesson, and the material was fun and practical from the get-go. This got her instantly hooked on playing the kit. Jeff's organized, punctual, and a clear communicator. The lessons are a great value and my daughter loves and looks forward to her time learning with Jeff.

Jeff not only teaches you a stylish way to beat on circles with sticks, but he teaches you so many other skills and techniques that will take your playing to 11. Jeff is patient, professional, knowledgeable and clear on what he teaches. I swear the guy has at least a million and one different ways to explain the same thing. I've been working with jeff for about 9 months now and I would highly recommend him as an instructor. If your a beginner no problem, been playing for a while again no problem, I guarantee you will learn something from Jeff and within a short time, you and others will notice an improvement in your play.( As long as you practice.)

Jeff is a good teacher and is very easy to work with. I've been taking lessons for a little over a year and our youngest daughter about 6 months. We look forward to our lessons and having Jeff out to our home. Highly recommended instructor who is timely and works to play on each of our strengths. Works great with adults and children, thanks Jeff!

Robert R.

Thankful to have found Jeff during my search for a drum instructor. Having retired last year with a little more time I wanted to round out my musical journey with drumming. Jeff has vast musical knowledge and is a great teacher. He provides a good foundation but also individualizes lessons and gets you “playing” music right away. Having a blast! Lessons at your home is also a plus. I highly recommend him.

Jeff has been teaching our 10 year-old son for close to a year and he has been amazing! He is friendly, kind, patient, and encouraging. He comes to our home for lessons which is obviously super convenient for us and saves us time and money. He communicates well and is flexible when we need to make a schedule change. Our son has made great progress in developing his drumming skills and is learning to read music, and I really appreciate that Jeff has kept him motivated and he's felt encouraged to keep it up. I highly recommend Jeff if you're interested in lessons!

Kelly S.

Great drum teacher. Our son really enjoys the lessons. Communication and consistency is great. Highly recommended. Thanks Jeff

Kim and Adam G.

Jeff is fantastic! He is a very knowledgeable drummer/musician and structures sessions in a way that keeps my daughter eager to learn, progressing and having fun. He is also incredibly patient.

Robin N. 

Jeff is a great teacher who really understands how to work with kids. He takes my 10-year-old seriously as a musician, which makes them very excited to learn and progress!

Nathaniel F.

Jeff is amazing with teenagers. My son started from scratch, but is developing as a drummer and beginning to complete full songs after just a few months of Jeff’s help.

Eli G.

Jeff is a fun and patient teacher for our 10 year old drummer. We are very comfortable with him and recommend him enthusiastically. …in fact, my wife has asked to start taking lessons.

Ryan W. 

Our kiddo (7) has a natural inclination for percussion, and since starting drum lessons with Jeff, her confidence and skill level has increased monumentally. She is excited to practice just a few minutes every day after school and show off her improvements to him during lessons. Jeff is a natural teacher and very patient and compassionate with our child. I love that we don't have to travel for lessons and he is Covid cautious. Very excited to see her talents blossom and so glad we found you, Jeff!

Robyn C. 

Jeff is a fantastic drum instructor. He is knowledgeable, patient and a super nice guy. Highly recommended!

James H.

I recently started taking drum lessons from Jeff, and he's pretty great! He has a versatile musical background, and I really like his methods. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone, of any age, who is looking to get into drumming. He is very accommodating, knowledgeable, and personable!

Kieran C.

Jeff has been an amazing instructor. He always customizes what we’re working on to keep things fun and fresh. He’s easy to relate and talk to as well. He is responsive to communication and always follows up when he says he will. Great professional and I really enjoy learning and working with him. Highly recommended!

Chris C.

We love Jeff! As a Mom watching and listening, I have seen our son make leaps and bounds over other teachers in the past in only a few months time. I love how he assessed my son's abilities and interests and adjusts his lessons accordingly. We are grateful to have Jeff teaching my son, he's very professional, and extremely kind. He takes hard things and shows my son he can do it, and with his encouragement he IS doing it, and my son is so proud of himself. I highly recommend Jeff as a drum teacher, he is excellent.

Adria H.

I have a 7 year old who can be particular about how adults approach him while teaching. Jeff worked his way in right away with my child and has been a great drum teacher ever since. He's extremely professional, put together, and reliable. He comes to our place to teach which is so dope; I can cook dinner instead driving my kids around! I can tell he's passionate about teaching and sharing the joys of music. Also, as an experienced musician, I can tell you Jeff is technically the real thing and his methodology works well for us! Thanks Jeff, we appreciate you!

Matt O.

My sons dream came true when we started drum lessons with Jeff! From the first lesson, which was complementary, we knew that it was the right fit for us. Jeff is professional and knowledgeable in music and is able to keep my son engaged during the lesson.  My son states that time flies too fast in his 45 minute lesson. I can see great improvement in his technique over the last three months. My son can’t wait for his weekly lessons and gladly does his homework! We highly recommend Jeff! 

Inna L.

My son has been working with Jeff during the fall. As a parent, I love that Jeff is reliable and a great communicator. He is punctual and always shows up to our house in a good mood, ready to inspire my son. He is patient and kind. My son is just beginning, but has already grown in confidence and is able to apply to teaching points that Jeff provides. I think that Jeff is highly proficient drummer, but even more importantly, is a fantastic influence on kids. 

Tammy C.

"Jeff has inspired Eleanor far beyond just practicing notes for the next lesson. She counts the beats, points out the rests, and measures the tempo in every song she listens to. I would definitely recommend Jeff to any parent whose child is interested in learning to play drums, or even curious about music—he will energize them!"

Kevin B.

"Jeff has been doing great with our 8-year old son. I was initially worried about our son’s ability to focus during the 30-minute lessons, so I initially hung out in the room with them during the lessons. Turns out Jeff is pretty good at keeping things moving and keeping his attention, so now I just let Jeff handle it. Jeff ups the difficulty just a tiny bit each time and our son has been progressing nicely. I would certainly recommend Jeff as a drum coach." 

Greg M.

"Jeff has been teaching our middle-school aged son for about a year. He is positive, patient, and skilled at building on the energy, learning style, and musical tastes of the student. He communicates well with us and our son. We’re grateful to have found him!" 

​Christie B. H.

​"We feel fortunate to have found Jeff. He comes to our home to work with our 15 year old son. Jeff’s style is a perfect fit for our son. He suggested the proper books for him and taught him to read music right away. They have been working together for only 4 months, and he is already helping him understand the importance of learning different styles of music. He has improved so much and loves learning from Jeff." 

​Debbi and Mark L.

"Jeff has been teaching our 7 year old son to play the drums. Just after a few lessons, our little guy has been able to learn a few beats and is starting to read music. We really enjoy Jeff working with our son, he keeps him interested in the work and makes learning fun. Jeff is a great guy and is always professional and a pleasure to be around. We look forward to working with Jeff for years to come! If you ever thought of playing drums or wanted your kids to learn, call Jeff, he is terrific." ​ 

Nick B.

"I’m ten years old and he has been teaching me for about one year. He has taught me about different notes and reading music more than any of my other teachers. Lessons with Jeff are really fun and I can relate to him. We have successfully learned Back in Black, and he has just started teaching me swing and blues which is a completely different kind of drumming." 

Keely R.

​ 

"Jeff is the best! He is such a fun drum teacher!!” That’s what my 9-year-old said. Jeff has been coming to our house for the past 6 months for drum lessons. Jeff clearly is a seasoned drummer himself. He relates well to kids and really tailors lessons to our son. He has helped our son go from learning different drum techniques to learning how to integrate these techniques into real rock songs, like Green Day, 21 Pilots, and Seven Nation Army. Our sons loves his lessons with Jeff. We would recommend Jeff to anyone!"

"I’m 10 years old and I recommend Jeff as a drum teacher. Jeff is a great drum teacher. I have been taking drum lessons from him since the beginning of the year. Since the beginning of the year, I have learned lots of songs, including 7 Nation Army, Rolling in the Deep, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and Green Onions. Also I’ve learned a lot of different rudiments and how to do swing and how to read sheet music. In school band everything is really easy because of what Jeff taught me. I’m a girl and I’m one of the best drummers in my class. Jeff taught me to be really good in a short time and be really good in my band at school." ​
