TEACHING DRUMS OVER 30+ YEARS
With decades of experience behind the kit, I bring a clear, patient, and fun approach that helps every student grow fast.
From first-time beginners to advanced players, lessons are designed to fit your goals and style while building real confidence and skill.
My passion is helping you reach your full potential - making drumming exciting, motivating, and something you’ll look forward to every week.
STATE CHAMPION
TO DRUM MENTOR
As the 1997 Guitar Center Drum Off State Champion and national finalist, I’ve spent my career helping drummers unlock their full potential. Many of my students have gone on to become professional musicians and instructors themselves.
Every lesson I teach blends technique, creativity, and discipline -helping players of all ages develop precision, confidence, and feel behind the kit. My approach turns complex concepts into something clear, fun, and inspiring.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
TESTIMONIALS
Accelerated Progress, Real Results
I first learned how to play from hearing and listening which only got me so far. I couldn't count notes, I couldn't read notes, I couldn't even play a paradiddle. After taking lessons with Jeff, he's not only become my mentor, but he's opened my mind to new ways of playing -new styles of playing and brings everything up a new level with his "accelerated learning" curve. I highly recommend Jeff for any style and or any levels!"

A Teacher Who Truly Cares
We were recommended to Jeff by a friend. Our son started taking lessons with him when he was 6. He has been teaching him for 2 years now. Jeff is an exceptional teacher and an amazing drummer himself. He is very patient and adapts every lesson to what my sons needs at that specific time while always progressing and challenging him. He makes learning fun, exciting and rewarding. We can't say enough great things about Jeff and would recommend him to any level of drummer.“
Kevin & Tiffany
Remarkable Patience
"I just can't say enough good about Jeff Hennens drum studio. My son, Michael, has been taking lessons from him for five months now and I'm blown away by his progress! My son started with no formal knowledge, but in the past few weeks Jeff had Michael (8 years old) playing along to Michael Jackson and Eddie Vedder songs and he loved it! Michaels ADHD, gross motor and fine motor delays have not discouraged Jeffs consistent yet relaxed teaching style either. Jeff has unlimited patience when my son's runs thin. Speaking as a music teacher myself, I would recommend Jeff Hennen to anyone looking for a wonderful music learning experience! He makes music fun and rewarding - exactly what it should be."
Rebecca
Great Teacher
"Jeff is a great teacher & a great drummer. My daughter had taken drums from Jeff for 2+ years & always looks forward to her lessons and I love his flexibility."
Elle
Lifelong Friend
"I have been taking drum lessons with Jeff for over ten years, and besides his obvious excellent drumming skills and teaching abilities, he has taught me to be a great drummer and he has become one of my closest lifelong friends. I strongly recommend Jeff to anyone seriously interested in learning to play drums."
Matt
Noticeable Improvement
"What I enjoy most about taking drum lessons from Jeff for the past 10 years is the noticeable improvement I experience week over week. His customized and positive approach took me from a beginner to having fun as the drummer for the band Merry and the Mood Swings. Jeff is very effective with students of all ages and every skill level."
Martha
Wonderful Experience
"I’m a 48-year-old from Dallas who has always loved music. For my birthday, I received four lessons with Jeff to learn the bongos. From the first session, his easygoing personality, professionalism, and talent put me at ease. It’s been such a wonderful experience learning something new and making great progress - even my band has noticed! I highly recommend Jeff, you won’t be disappointed!"
