OC Drum School

I have been learning to play the drums from Jeff for about 2 years now and I am extremely happy with my experience. I have several years of experience playing South Indian drums but I had to start from scratch with regards to Western drums and I’m glad I found the best teacher to guide me through the process.
Jeff is an extremely patient teacher who sincerely wants his students to succeed and have fun drumming. He has a very methodical approach to his teaching and has developed his own notes that he graciously shares with his students to help them practice on their own. He takes time to understand his students and customize the learning process accordingly, which is why he has students from all age groups.
It’s a challenge for me to squeeze in drum classes in to my lifestyle as a full time engineer and a first time dad with a baby at home, but Jeff has always been very understanding and works around his schedules to offer classes that works for both of us. Jeff is an excellent teacher who strikes the perfect balance between fun and learning and I highly recommend him to any who is looking to learn drums.

«Jeff is a great teacher– very positive and supportive. He’s also very intuitive so can guide everyone individually in the specific way that you need. I would definitely recommend OC drum school. »

Jeff Wolfe is a long time highly skilled drummer and not only is he a great drummer but he’s a great teacher and he’s been teaching for a long time so I would highly recommend him. CC

Jeff worked well with my son, always encouraging him & teaching him for almost 2 years. We only stopped because my son went off to college.

A Testimonial from Jeff’s OC Drum School Website
Hello,
My name is Tyler and I have taken lessons from Jeff for 4 years and I have to say I don’t regret driving nearly every Saturday morning from San Juan Capistrano up to Newport Beach to study drumming. In my 4 years with Jeff I have learned a great deal after 3 months of lessons with Jeff I played my first gig behind the drum set and I knew then that I COULD do this!
I am now a working drummer for multiple bands and I attribute my success to Jeff’s teaching. Drum lessons have developed my passion for music to the point now where I am going to continue studying music in college (USC on a Music Scholarship).
So basically, what I am trying to say is Jeff’s drum lessons don’t need to be just for aspiring drummers, they can be really for anyone. He knows extensive music theory, technique and the true fundamentals of drumming… and most importantly how to teach in a relaxed environment that pushes his students to learn a great deal in a short period of time.
Another thing I should say about Jeff’s lessons is that there are NO AGE RESTRICTIONS!
I have seen students as young as 2 years old to people in there late 70′s come in to take lessons from him which is quite a feat in itself! Immediately his students, no matter how old can feel his teaching ability and sense his complete understanding of what he is doing.
Jeff can take the most uncoordinated person and have him or her playing drums in a fashion in a short period of time that would make their audience feel like that person had been playing drums for years.
I highly recommend lessons with Jeff because not only are they affordable, fun and productive. But, Jeff is the kind of guy that will never make you feel uncomfortable or put you down.
I’m happy to say… I now consider Jeff an older friend of mine who happens to teach me something new about drums every week.
Sincerely,
Tyler Demorest — 16 years old
