TESTIMONIALS:


"Adam Hay is a consummate professional. A drummers' drummer - Adam is a living example of the daily hard work and dedication to our craft that one must have in order to stand out from the crowd. Our community is very lucky he has chosen to share his knowledge with us through his teaching practice. If I were starting again today I would choose Adam as my teacher. I am proud to call him a contemporary and friend."

Jesse Capon



"This guy is a SERIOUS drummer. I know, I'm a drummer too, and Adam is very, very solid."

Rick Camilleri (President of Sony Music Canada)


"Whether I've needed help with concrete issues of hand and foot technique, or more ethereal concepts of expression and passion for music, Adam Hay has always been there to guide me on my journey. Adam's an outstanding musician, an inspiring teacher and one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet."

Matt Bennett (Five Star Trailer Park)


"I've been taking lessons on and off for about 10 years, and my experience with Adam was near the best (with the exception of my private lesson with Dennis Chambers). During my lessons, Adam quickly assessed my skill level and tailored his teaching to match it perfectly. This made for a great learning experience.
Adam was able to develop practice drills on the spot that helped me master areas that I wanted to learn.
Adam has passion for music and this pours out when you talk to him about percussion or any other aspect of music. He lives percussion – this is NOT a side job that he does part time.
And finally, Adam is one hell of a nice person and a pleasure to be around.
So, if you are in Toronto or the GTA, and you are a beginner and want to learn how to play drums or an experienced player wanting to increase your skill, I can't think of a better person to go see."
