Real Results

"Just wanted to give a shout out to BPM Drum Academy (Troy). My 12yo has only been doing lessons for 1 term, barely practiced, and I'm shocked by how much he's learnt and how good he's sounding. Amazing drum teacher! Thank you Troy!!!"

"Troy has been a true professional, a mentor, very trustworthy, friendly & approachable. He has moulded my son into an outstanding musician, who received a score of 94 in his HSC for music! Thanks to Troy, my son has had a thorough, well-rounded music education & given him tremendous self-esteem as a result. I couldn't recommend Troy & BPM Drum Academy more highly."
