I taught Sam from a beginner to grade 8 Rockschool graded drums many years ago. I found Sam a very quick learner, due to effort and dedication he put in earning. He was one of my best pupils, like a natural. I always found Sam to be polite, friendly, with great sense of humour, he is patient to lean to perfection. I believe he would be a asset teacher. With knowledge of reading, playing at the highest levels. - David B
