Review of David Tepper, June 27, 2009
Being a great drummer and having the ability to teach great drumming is two distinct talents. In my opinon, Dave Tepper has mastered both. He motivates, demonstrates and educates on a professional level. I am very pleased with his teaching abilities and his personality is engaging. I have yet to have a dull lesson. I have had the priviledge of studying with Dave for a little over two years and he has challenged me to become the best I can be. I reccommend him highly, no matter what level you play at currently. Dave is also a very versatile musician. He plays Jazz, Funk, Rock, Latin and many other types of music. He is not only limited to drumset, he plays various other percussion instruments. If drumming is your passion, and you are serious about learning, call Dave Tepper and explore your potential as a drummer. You will not be disappointed.

Review of David Tepper, June 25, 2009
I took lessons from Dave Tepper for 7 years. He challenged me and expanded my musicianship, really making the effort to personally mentor me. He took the time to hone my college auditions and focused on my goals and needs. Now that I teach young drummers I try to emulate his warmth and sincerity.

Note to David Tepper, November 20, 2007
I'm really glad I got a hold of you! I always wanted to thank you for being an awesome teacher. I don't know if you meant to, but you really helped me to believe in myself back in high school when no one else really gave me any credit. Thanks!
