Parent of Cyrus
“What an amazing and unforgettable night! Cyrus has been attending lessons for a while now and the progress he’s made is remarkable. Cameron/ David’s ability to connect with him and the lessons to his needs has been instrumental in bringing Cyrus to the next level. They’ve not only improved his technical skill but also instilled a sense of confidence and enthusiasm that’s truly invaluable. We’re incredibly grateful to Drummers Link for providing such a fantastic learning and performing experience.”
