People Say...

"After taking this class for the second time, it was even more enjoyable. Don is an amazing instructor and this class is a wonderfully accessible way to tap into the worlds of rhythm and music along with an understanding of theory and history. Don is a true asset not only to UCSC but also to our community as a whole. Drumming with him has enlightened me in so many ways. As an instructor, I couldn't ask for anything more. He's organized, gentle, sensitive, encouraging, enthusiastic & helpful."
