Alex is an awesome teacher. He has a lot of patience with my granddaughters and is very accommodating. My granddaughters look forward to their lessons. I highly recommend Alex if you are wanting to learn to play the drums.

About Alex's Drum Lessons And Jazz Entertainment Events
I have been teaching drum set lessons for 24 years and have had students go on to prestigious music schools, as well as be lifelong hobbyists. I teach all styles and specialize in jazz. I love to empower students of all ages, even as young as 3, learn to internalize how to grow while having fun with their instruments. I have had students stick with me for more than 12 years regardless of where I have moved (I am available for Skype lessons and they work just as well.). I'm always willing to work something out financially, so I use a sliding-scale method of payment where appropriate.
Reviews
Alex is an outstanding instructor. As an adult student starting from scratch, I really appreciated how practical, patient, and encouraging their teaching style is. They explain rhythm and technique in a way that just clicks. I’ve gained a great understanding of the basics and always look forward to my lessons. Five stars!
I am so happy to be working with Alex. He is super friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Working remotely with him has been smooth and easy. I can’t believe how far I’ve come in such a short while. I highly recommend his services - you won’t be disappointed!
Alex did amazing remotely with my 7 year old. He was very patient and even understanding of any frustration he felt learning something new.
I’ve been taking online drum lessons with Alex, and they’ve been incredibly effective. Before starting, I had never done any drumming at all, and Alex has been amazing at meeting me exactly where I’m at. He’s an awesome, patient teacher who’s incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows exactly what he’s doing. He explains things in a way that’s easy to understand, is very easy to get along with, and can work with any skill level, from complete beginners to more advanced players. Even in an online format, the lessons feel personal and productive. I’ve made noticeable progress and highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to learn drums.
Alex is probably one of the nicest and easiest to work with instructors you could ask for. I’ve been taking lessons for about a little under a year now and I can’t wait to get even better. This is remote teaching (through the computer or phone) unless you happen to live in his area but I’ve found it to make pretty much no difference as if we were in the same room together, he communicates clearly about what you should work on and how to work on it both in and out of lessons. Would highly recommend getting him as a teacher
I started learning the drums recently in my 30s and I was really skeptical about doing online classes because I'd never done a music lesson online before. Alex is an incredible teacher. He is patient, professional, highly skilled, and has a great approach to teaching that would suit both younger and older students. He is able to tailor lessons to fit your experience and adjust based on how much time you can commit to practicing. Weve been meeting for several months and I've had zero issues with the digital format. Highly recommend working with Alex if you're looking to learn jazz or rock drumming.
We have a wonderful experience working with Alex. He really knows his stuff and is super patient with our 10 year old. We have had such a great experience that I have also decided to take some lessons myself to brush up on my own drum skills. Alex is awesome. We can't recommend him enought.
Working with Alex remotely has been great. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his craft. His energy and responsiveness to each student's needs have been extremely conducive to my progress so far.
Alex and his crew were so great. He worked with us last minute and provided an excellent product. He and his friend played for our church event and they rocked it. Hope to work with them again. Definitely would suggest giving them a try!
Alex and his group offered an upscaled, sophisticated and relaxing experience .Music in perfect harmony with our event. Right vibe, right volume, right everything! Just professional and knowledgeable!
Alex was very responsive in helping me coordinate my event. His Trio jazz were great and gave my event a great touch!
It was great having Alex and the band to compliment an awesome night of celebration! We look forward to working you all again. We highly recommending booking with Alex!
I have never had music instrument training before and I decided to try something new. I was hoping drumming may be the slight chance that I could be and remain creative, before the routine life consumes me. I found Alex here and started to take drum class via Skype. It's over a year now, I still haven't met him in-person. My friends who had piano or violin training since they were little thought this was just a phase and I would give up soon. It's highly likely to be the case without Alex. I did a lot of Youtube and Drumeo for 2 months, it didn't get me anywhere. I suppose it could be helpful for those who have a decent fundamental training already, but not for me. Alex has been doing this long enough that with a glance from video chat, he knows exactly what my problems are and he has his methodology to fix it a small yet solid piece each time, so that it is fun and it keeps improving. It is just amazing. I was surprised someone so professionally trained like him would take me in and literally start from scratch. He told me he has students of a wide range of age and levels, from kids going professional to adults like me. He just shares the passion. I have a full-time job and need to be flexible sometimes, he has more and more gigs, but we always figure it out with little effort. Looking back and see myself starting at rock drumming and recently getting into Jazz drumming, from barely hold the sticks to where I am right now, I'm so lucky that I have this mentor, who is positive, encouraging, patient, resourceful, and versatile. Drumming is a massive universe, I'm just getting to know it, but I'm not scared, I'm looking forward to the unknown. Cheers.
I was, no, am so impressed with every aspect of Mr. Snydman's lessons. Need I say more? Yes! In addition to his musical knowledge, he is a genuinely kind caring person.
