  • "I can't say enough about how great my experience learning drums with Kabir has been! I have been a jazz drummer for over 20 years and I wanted to find someone who could meet me where I was and help push me to develop above-and-beyond what I had already learned. Kabir started by deeply understanding my personal goals and breaking down areas of improvement that he learned through observing my playing throughout our first few months together. Before I knew it, we were doing deep studies on Philly Joe Jones and Elvin that made me feel as if I were getting a professional music degree! His technical acumen and ability to provide simple exercises for development areas continually impresses me. Beyond being a monster behind the kit and a great teacher, Kabir has helped refuel my passion for Jazz music. He regularly invites my wife and me to his amazing live shows, shares music that inspires his playing, and has even invited me to come sit in on some of the jam sessions that he hosts around the city! Whether you are beginning your journey as a new drummer of any style or a seasoned professional, Kabir has a wealth of knowledge and knack for teaching that will help you develop immensely as a drummer."

  • "Kabir possesses an extremely in-depth knowledge of the instrument and music theory as a whole, and he displays passion and excitement at passing on this knowledge to his students. His calm and friendly demeanor is enough to make even the most nervous beginners feel comfortable, and he has been extremely flexible with both his schedule and the content of the lessons he provides. Even though the genres of music I am interested in are not very typical for him to teach, he has been willing to take on uncharted territory with me and learn more about the music that interests me so he can be an even better instructor and guide me to success. Having always been interested in drumming, I'm very glad that I made the decision to try lessons with Kabir, and I am proud of the skills and knowledge I've since gained as the result of his teaching."

  • "I met Kabir while I was searching for a drum instructor. It was during the COVID time so it was obvious to be a virtual lesson, nevertheless I wanted a local teacher, I knew the pandemic would be over eventually. I started with Kabir and realized that blessed I was! As we dove into the music I found how talented he was. After COVID we started to meet in-person for intense afternoons (2-3 hours at a time). I found that to give me the best help I could dream, as we could encounter any question thoroughly with little to no pressure of time. Kabir addresses his lessons on both techniques performance, in any rhythm one can dream on (Jazz, R$R, Latin and more) and in all is extremely knowledgeable. His love for music in general and drums in particular is an evident to his enthusiastic and energetic teaching techniques I am tremendously grateful to have him as my teacher."
