"Just wanted to give a shout out to BPM Drum Academy (Troy). My 12yo has only been doing lessons for 1 term, barely practiced, and I'm shocked by how much he's learnt and how good he's sounding. Amazing drum teacher! Thank you Troy!!!"
"Troy taught my two boys, who were at beginner level, how to play drums with confidence. My children have now developed a love for drums thanks to Troy's dedication, patience and passion for music. Troy is a very caring and friendly teacher and we highly recommended his drum tuition services."
