Alfredo is an excellent drum teacher and I’m happy to give him five stars.

When my son was 8, he started lessons with Alfredo. He had never touched a drum kit before and, like most kids that age, had a fairly short attention span. Alfredo was patient, clear, and structured in his approach, and he kept things fun without letting bad habits form.

Alfred is a highly talented, professional drummer with deep knowledge of music theory, educational techniques, experience playing in live bands at many different venues, and recording music. He instructed my daughter for four years and when she left for college, he instructed my husband and I until we left San Antonio. Alfredo can connect with kids and adults and adapts the lessons appropriately to their interests and abilities. He can answer any question you have about drumming and demonstrate pretty much every technique known. Not only is he a great instructor, but he builds and refurbishes drum kits and built this beautiful kit for us.

My son took drum lessons with many instructors before taking lessons with Alfredo. I know my son has learned so much with Alfredo during their time together than he has with other instructors that he’s been with longer. My son is 7, and gets distracted easily and tired quickly because his lessons after a long day at school are tough. Although this can be expected with any young ones. Alfredo is really good at making lessons fun, and is very flexible with young students and their challenges of many sorts when working with little ones. He’s very professional and takes his work seriously and you can tell he’s passionate about teaching others something he enjoys very much. There’s a lot you can learn from him.

El mejor maestro de batería y multi instrumentista, te enseña las mejores técnicas y tiene los mejores ritmos y de todos los estilos, las clases son lo más divertidas además de que aprendes a leer partitura y aprendes y avanzas muy rápido de nivel, pues el maestro Alfredo es un gran músico y tiene literal toda su vida tocando la batería, ampliamente recomendado.

Les recomiendo ampliamente las clases de batería acústica del profesor Alfredo. Su amplia experiencia se nota desde la primera sesión, a través de sus técnicas de ejecución y de lectura del instrumento. Tomé las clases en modalidad remota, ya que vivo en la Ciudad de México, y han sido las mejores lecciones que he recibido en mi aún corta trayectoria como baterista.

Si bien no soy profesional, tampoco empecé desde cero; el profesor Alfredo identificó de inmediato que necesitaba trabajar mi groove y mi independencia, habilidades que desarrollé significativamente gracias a sus enseñanzas.

Es un profesor puntual —tanto en horarios como en comentarios—, respetuoso y con gran disposición para conversar sobre bateristas, baterías, música y ritmos percusivos. Además, sus tenis Converse combinan con el color de su instrumento… ¡cute!

If you’re seeking an exceptional drum teacher, this is undoubtedly the most experienced and professional drummer in San Antonio and Texas. As a seasoned professional drummer who has toured North America, you’re fortunate if you have the opportunity to spend time with this instructor, whether it’s for yourself or a family member (kids nowadays need art more than ever). Investing in transforming someone’s perception of music and life is a valuable endeavor. In these times, when music is often perceived as a commodity, having a true artist and a professional to impart their knowledge and inspiration is one of the greatest values.

Absolutamente increible. Es un maestro de batería con una excelencia impresionante: paciente, profesional y con una pasión que realmente se nota.

We love Alfredo! He is not only an excellent drummer with amazing  experience but also a wonderful instructor. He's patient with his students, professional, and a dedicated instructor. I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else. I would highly recommend his lessons.
