Lessons are held at Broadway Music School in Denver. You'll have the opportunity to learn on real drums - not an electronic kit or a set covered with rubber pads (very important for developing dynamics and tone). In addition, every lesson is customized to help you set and achieve your personal goals while having fun and being creative in the process.

"Ryan Elwood is an accomplished musician who puts the song and singer first; a real team player."
- Doug Haywood (Jackson Browne)
"Ryan Elwood is a phenomenal drum teacher. My son has been taking lessons for over 4 years now from Ryan. Ryan is a patient teacher and is great with students of all ages. He has a great set up for teaching drumming with the use of side-by-side drums, mirrors, etc. You truly can't go wrong with Ryan!"
- Leigh Smith (parent of student)
"It has always been a pleasure working with Ryan. I respect him first as a musician and then as a drummer. He has a solid foundation in harmony, which many drummers lack. I think this makes him more aware of what is going on musically and therefore makes his drumming much more musical."
- Eric Dorn (jazz guitarist)
"Very personable. Ryan had me playing along with some well-known rock songs by the end of my first 1 hr lesson. I highly recommend him."
- Mike Webb (student)
"Ryan is an exceptional teacher in that he begins where the learner is, and knows just the right direction and suggestions to give to enhance building skill and satisfaction. Ryan goes above and beyond by providing sheet music from various artists as well as a custom set of practice exercises as one progresses. He recommended where I could purchase my drum set, how to select them, and he even came to my home to help me set them up. Ryan can bridge to any learning style at any age -- and I am living proof of that, having started drum lessons later in life. Ryan truly loves what he does, which comes through as he teaches. I highly recommend Ryan as a drum teacher for anyone of any age!"
- Deb Weist (student)
"I've worked with Ryan for the last five years and he amazes me every time with his knowledge of various styles, feels, and repertoire. You can always count on Ryan to show up early and prepared at every gig he is hired for. His feel of the pocket is spot on for every tune and unmatched in the area."
- Thom Sandrock (M Squared, George Nelson Band)
"Ryan is one of the best percussionists in the city, a true professional."
- Gene Davis (The Que Pastas)
