“A little over one year ago I began what will be a long-term intensive coaching program with Steve Lyman. My goal as a student is to identify every vulnerability on the instrument and build a solid foundation both on the instrument and musically, in general. What I have received so far has been that and quite a bit more. Steve's knowledge in the world of music, his understanding of rhythm and mechanics, and, more importantly, the ability to convey this to the student is exactly what I'd hoped for. His particular brand of coaching is direct - you will be challenged and be as much a part of the process as he is. But if you want it, I can't think of a better path forward. You'll get good at drums, you'll grow as a musician, you'll figure out what you want to do~why you're playing this instrument in the first place. I'm still - I'll always be - learning and trying to get good at the drums but I'm seeing growth that far exceeds where I thought I would be. To say I'm looking forward to where I'll be in one, two, or even five years is an enormous understatement. You start to wonder, what exactly IS possible? Can't wait to find out.”

“I’m about 2 years into regular lessons with Steve and it has changed almost everything about how I approach the drums. Steve helped me clean up my technique, time, and gives me language and models to talk about his concepts in a way that I can own and understand. He has coached me through a process of identifying what is most important to me creatively and encourages me to invent that drummer within. He has also pushed me to accomplish some radically challenging things. He never minces words, but always speaks from the heart. I can’t recommend him enough.”
