Excellent drummer and even better teacher. Rob has a solid curriculum that really helps students to progress at a great pace. He is great with students of all ages and skill sets and is very professional while making lessons fun and personable. Highly recommended if you want to learn drums the right way with a personal touch.

I started lessons with Rob Tovar eight months ago. He is a wonderful teacher. He is teaching me how to read music, the rudiments of drumming, and anything else I need to play a song competently. Along with the foundations of drumming, I am learning to play songs I like which was the point of starting lessons in the first place! As an adult I appreciate Rob’s professionalism, easy manner, and vast knowledge of the music industry. But most importantly, my lessons are really fun. I see how he is with the younger students before and after my lesson and they seem to be just as happy. I cannot imagine a better drum teacher is out there.

I would highly recommend Rob Tovar to instruct either adults or kids on any type of percussion instruments. He not only is an excellent and patient instructor, he also plays in several bands himself. He is super nice, has excellent equipment, and reasonable prices. Check him out!

Learning percussion with Rob Tovar is more than just about music. Yes you will get:
1. A strong grasp on musical theory, chart reading, and rudiments.
2. A variety of techniques and approaches to how you want to play the drums.
3. Fast and accurate hands.
4. A crash course on every genre that makes money for a musician.
5. A foundational history lesson on the kit and its adaptation to digital era music.
6. How to take care and fully utilize one’s drumming equipment.
7. Side-​by-​side kit allows for far more productive teaching sessions.
But in my four years studying under Tovar, other perks I received included:
1. Someone to talk to during some rocky teenage years.
2. Mandatory accountability of items I saved up to acquire.
3. An understanding of the importance the music I had learned in regard to our world’s culture.
4. A network connection in the Dallas/​Texas/​Southwest music scene.
5. But most importantly, a lifelong and loyal friend.
I began taking lessons with Rob Tovar at the age of 15. I since went on to the Percussion program at Musicians’ Institute in Hollywood, CA. I now teach percussion on the side out in Arizona as well as run some music clubs for the school at which I teach. I would not be able to contribute to my community to the level that I am able to without the guidance, instruction, and influence I received while learning percussion under Rob Tovar. Thank you for everything, Rob!
