It's been a year since I took my first pandeiro lesson from Robert Wallace, and since then I've been repeatedly impressed by the breadth of his knowledge, and his ability to teach at any level. He is an excellent teacher for beginner drummers / percussionists (which was perfect for me learning pandeiro), but he also has an impressive background in a wide range of drumming and dancing that has helped me with more advanced conga rhythms I have wanted to study.

I've taken small group classes from him, individual classes, his Total Rhythm Fitness Program, and I am currently in his ensemble drumming class - and he is equally capable of working out basics with newer drummers as he is applying more advanced and complex concepts for more experienced drummers. He is an all around rhythm guy. And best of all, he has incredible enthusiasm and is very encouraging of all learners, which is something I really appreciate.
