Many thanks to those who voted & feedback is always appreciated! I'll continue to give 110% in all I do.

  Many thanks to Maria Satira & the Brozek family for asking me to take part. I've been teaching Chris since 2004. He continues to impress me with his skills, determination, & focus on everything we cover. We both truly love the art of drumming & working with Chris is always an enjoyable experience. He has evolved into a fine percussionist but constantly keeps moving forward always driven to perfecting his many talents. See for yourself...this is a touching story on a great person, not just a great drummer.
