I’ve always said that Blake is the best teacher I’ve had in any field, music or otherwise. The lessons are as much a course in drumming as they are in work ethic and dedication. He helped me take the biggest musical step of my life and as a result I am able to now pass his teachings along to my own students. I owe Blake the lifestyle that I am currently able to live and will be forever grateful that our paths crossed.
