Drum Lessons North Hollywood - North Hollywood, California

I took a couple of lessons with Kevin during my stay in Los Angeles and it was awesome! He is a very passionate and motivating teacher and has a tone of knowledge. He made me aware of issues in my playing that I never thought about before (for example: keeping the degree of Swing more consistent during the song). Go, take a lesson with Kevin and I am sure, you will improve your drumming right away, just by getting to know things you didn’t know before, - as I did!

Kevin Stevens is the most influential drum instructor in my music career.
His lessons focus on almost everything you can imagine about drums. Especially on how to develop a good drum sound and drum grooves.
Also, he is an expert in New Orleans music and it helps me to reach different kinds of drumming styles.
Taking lessons with him was really fun and enjoyable, he would listen to your needs and eventually achieve your goal easily.
I really recommend it.

Kevin Stevens and I worked together for about 1.5 years. I'd already been playing professionally for 20 years at the time I started lessons with him. Kevin took the time during our first lesson to really listen to what I liked and disliked about my playing...what things I wanted to work on...what players I aspired to play like etc. He formulated a plan from the next lesson forward. Kevin's drumming abilities are equally matched by his friendly and easy going personality. He's a top player and can teach any style with command. I'd recommend him to anyone, of any age!

Kevin Stevens in a wealth of knowledge for drummers of all levels. I had the privilege of studying with Kevin while in college and I still use exercises he showed me and refer back our lesson plans to this day. His expertise and passion for drumming were truly inspiring and I grew not only as a drummer but also as a musician because of him. Kevin’s patience and constructive feedback helped me progress faster than I thought possible. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional looking to improve and explore new ideas. I highly recommend Kevin Stevens.

Kevin is an awesome drummer, teacher and human! He is incredibly versatile and taught me so many great concepts in drumming, that were applicable to any genre. I really appreciated that fact that he has a vast vocabulary in his playing, but never compromised on groove/feel. No matter where you are in your drumming journey as far as skill goes, I highly recommend studying with him as he for sure will have something new and exciting for you!

Kevin was one of the best teachers I had at Musicians Institute back in the days. I learned so much from him not only on drumming in different styles but more importantly, the musicianship. Kevin himself is a great musician who holds a very high performance and musicianship standard, more importantly, he can delivery and pass the knowledge to the students in a very effective way. I am grateful for the experience studying with Kevin.

I had the pleasure of studying drums with Kevin while I lived in Los Angeles. I say pleasure because he is not only a delightful person but a great teacher. He has a gift of meeting you where you are in your drum/music journey and helping to get you to the next level. Kevin is able to break down complex drum theories and techniques and deliver them in a way that are easy to understand.

If you're looking to invest in yourself and have someone come alongside and not only push you, but help you grow in your playing, look no further!

The lessons were thoughtfully structured, starting with the basics and gradually progressing to more advanced techniques. This approach ensured a strong foundation while keeping me engaged and motivated to continue learning. Kevin’s clear explanations and demonstrations made complex concepts feel manageable and exciting to tackle.

One aspect I particularly appreciated was the personalized attention I received during each lesson. Kevin took the time to understand my skill level, goals, and musical preferences, tailoring the lessons to suit my needs. This individualized approach not only accelerated my learning but also made the entire experience more enjoyable.

Overall, I can confidently say that these drum lessons have been a transformative experience.
