I can't say enough wonderful things about Laszlo as a teacher...and human! He was my daughter's instructor for nearly 5 years. He's kind, flexible, fun, good-natured, patient and such an amazing drummer and instructor. And the quality of the lessons are a great value.....

Amazing, kind with kids, and responds very quickly.
He works online which is very helpful, especially when there is no time to drive back and forth.
Thanks a lot for making the time to meet us and make it happens.

Laszlo has been teaching drums to my 12 year old son for 3-4 years now - both in-person (pre-covid) and virtual. My son says he's a "cool dude" who really knows his stuff. I've found Laszlo very easy to work with and he's always providing entertaining drum lessons. We got Laszlo's book and that's been helpful for my son too.

Laszlo is an amazing teacher. Undoubtedly he's a talented musician, but his patience as an instructor is unparalleled. Learning to play the drums has always been a childhood dream of mine, and needless to say it's never too late! He's flexible with your schedule (for all of those 8-5s out there). Highly recommend!

Lazslo has been our son's (9) drumming teacher for over 2 years. He's amazing. We don't even have a drum kit at home, so in only 30 minutes per week, he was able to turn our son into a human beat box. The setup is fantastic...
