Bennett Williams' Full Testimonial

Scott, studying with you was pivotal in my drumming education; you were able to help me to learn the fundamentals of drumming grip, time, groove, and the stylistic differences within the art of set drumming. You provided an environment for me that was very conducive to learning, and you were supportive and helpful in this process. You opened my ears to the drumming world, and brought new music to me that I otherwise would not have heard, or been able to appreciate the drumming within it. You introduced me to drummers like Steve Gadd, Narada Michael-Walden, Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham, and many others.

I remember one time I brought you a recording of "La Grange" by ZZ Top, and asked you what the drummer was doing; you taught me how to shuffle, and let's just say that now I have one of the best shuffle grooves anywhere. You taught me how to listen, and how to be a musical drummer that plays with a band instead of being a show-off "stunt" drummer. Lastly, when my father passed away, I remember you showed me genuine compassion and support throughout this difficult period in my life, and through drumming, provided me with an outlet to help me deal with my loss. For these reasons, I think you are the best teacher that I could have possibly had, and I thank you.
