I've been taking lessons with Colin for over a year now and he's been great! He's very helpful in breaking down difficult concepts in a way that make them easily digestible. One of my favorite aspects of our lessons is how we can dissect these concepts into very simple exercises, that I then send through as many permutations as my mind allows me to come up with. It helps to demystify difficult concepts, as well as challenge me to come up with my own exercises and patterns that I can apply to my playing. Not only does he have a firm grasp on the world of drum education (having gone to school Jazz/Musical Performance and studying with some of the country's top drummers), he also understands the the complexities of being a working drummer. A good teacher practices what they preach, and I see that a lot in Colin. As a working drummer in NYC, this is of great value to me. I feel very comfortable with his teaching method and ability to bring my playing to the next level.

I started taking drum lessons last year with Colin after many years of wishing I could play. He's a very passionate drummer and adaptive to my circumstances. After a half year of lessons I feel more confident at the kit than I had the past decade. Highly recommended teacher.
Colin Hinton is both a musician and educator. This is rare. Our son is taking drum lessons with him, but there are other musical elements involving piano and music theory, that Colin is adding to his studies. Our son returns from his lessons inspired and determined. Colin clearly has an astute perception of his students, knowing how to support the fire, but also give organization to any weaker links. I highly recommend him.
Colin is an amazing musician and a thorough, focused, and compassionate teacher who meets his students where they are and inspires them to transcend their limits. He teaches both me (I'm 50) and my 15 year old daughter and tailors each lesson to our skill level and goals. His prices are reasonable/standard and he is very flexible about scheduling. If you're looking for a drum teacher, it's hard to imagine you'd do better than Mr. Colin Hinton!
I’ve been taking piano lessons from Colin for a few months. He’s really great - I’ve been improving fast. The lessons are both practical and theoretical and he’s a good and patient teacher with a breadth of knowledge . I’d definitely recommend him.
