I've always run lessons as a one-on-one customized educational experience and comedy show (you may debate if you think I'm funny). But now I've added a massive amount of audio/visual tech; 7 cameras, 11 mics, 3 mixers, 3 moniters, #obs, Spotify, pdfs, graphics, sound effects and a ton of extra hours making lessons an in-depth, customized, top of the line learning experience!

Sadden by the news of my long term student, Aiden Sadden by the news of my long term student, Aiden Lee Jensen passing away. I taught him from age 5-18 and was so proud when he went off to college to became a future doctor. He loved drums, had a wonderful sense of humor and was a real fan of Star Wars and Games Of Thrones. What was there not to like!? I will miss him and our jams and conversations about how bad the Star Wars prequels were.

I took lessons with Nick for five years and he taught me from the roots of basic drumming up to advanced studies. Nick is an awesome and Inspiring teacher that helped open my eyes to new music styles, solos, techniques, and skill that I still use in my drumming today. Nick taught me how to read music and understand it in different music styles. Nick also corrected my music I wrote and suggest to make beyond regular beat that It was with skills he taught me. Nick is a funny, nice, patient, caring, encouraging and helped me focus on drumming when I went though hard times. He is  a very awesome drummer and teacher. When I first started taking his listen I was a shy kid. He helped build my confidence that I have now. Nick teaches all songs you want to learn and show you new songs you never thought were possible. Highly recommend any skill level of drummer should take lesson with Nick.  Thank you for everything you taught me over the years.

I took lessons for 6+ years from Nick, and it was phenomenal.  Easily one of my most lasting learning experiences ever.

There's honestly not enough room to say all the positive things about his lessons.  They're organized, challenging, and custom suited to each student (during high-school days he helped me compose a drum-solo for my school's Jazz Band concert, he taught me the parts to some of my favorite songs, etc.)  You'll be exposed to more techniques, styles, tips and tricks than you could ever imagine.

He's informative, encouraging, and hilarious - a real class act and role model.  I highly recommend him to drummers of ANY skill level.

I took drum lessons with Nick Dahlberg for 5+ years, over which I learned much more than drumming technique. Nick creates an environment for learning with his humor, focus, and organization. With Nick I learned how to manage my time better and improve my playing. I recommend Nick to a person of any skill level, there is no defined path, he customizes everything to the individual student. Thank you, Nick!
