Tyrone is a fantastic percussionist. His timing and touch are impeccable. He is the consummate perfectionist when it comes to preparation for shows and is always on time, on point, and on cue.
I look forward to the future and more great things to come, and I look forward to having Tyrone Steele continuing to be an important piece of my band

Tyrone is one of the most organized and professional drummers I know. He shows up on time and is always prepared. Whether you need someone to rock like a lion or play as quiet as a mouse, Tyrone is your man!

It’s not easy to find a responsible musician who is also easy to work with and can handle anything you throw at him. But that is what you get with Tyrone. He is always professional and on-time to any gig. And on top of all that, he is a great drummer. I would work with him any chance I can.

It’s always a pleasure working with Tyrone. As a highly skilled craftsman, Tyrone’s well prepared, technically sound, and able to cross different genres of music. I never worry when he’s on the kit.

I’ve been learning with Tyrone since October 2012, and have learned more about drumming than I thought possible. I’ve been able to expand my inventory of genres, techniques, and knowledge with Tyrone’s teaching. Bit by bit, Tyrone teaches in a way that makes sure the building blocks are covered, and that I won’t be without a required skill set when approaching a new task. Highly recommend this teacher!

I have been taking lessons with Ty Steele since January of 2013 and the progression under his tutelage has been tremendous. After deciding to learn how to play drums, I selected Ty as an instructor. Currently, I have not only learned how to sight-read music, but have also learned some of the proper drumming techniques that have enabled me to play some basic to intermediate rhythms. I have also learned a couple of complete songs note for note. I am very thankful that I met Ty, an excellent instructor and drummer, who makes his client’s lessons very instructive, enjoyable, and well worth the investment.
