Paul’s energetic speaking and playing kept my students on the edge of their chairs during the masterclass. It’s impossible not to be engaged, entertained and learn from his unique and valuable wisdom!
Paul’s masterclass spoke to topics on performance, percussion and drumset history, musical entrepreneurship, instrument setup, music fundamentals and so much more. He showcased both live performance in the class and videos from the theater pit to demonstrate a wide variety of musical concepts. His thoughtful and provoking lecture inspired my students to ask questions, as they were on the edge of their chairs the whole class! Paul is clearly a consummate professional and cares deeply to pass on knowledge and wisdom to the next generation - I could not recommend him more highly!

"Paul delivered one of the most sincere and compelling clinics I've witnessed in 14 years at UNLV. Founded on a humble reverence for serving the music and his audiences, he shared with our students a wide range of incredibly well-articulated insights on the importance of musical fundamentals, proactive musical decision-making, and what it takes to be a professional musician."
Whether it is navigating complex social and professional situations, feeding your artistry within strict boundaries, or simply checking your own ego at the door, Paul's insights were more than professional, they were deeply personal.
His convictions for finding balance, purpose, and fulfillment come from his chronicles of hard lessons learned and experiences with world-class mentors. Paul distills, through so much practical wisdom, what every musician should strive to be and hope to be around."
