I find Billy really down to earth and very friendly. He has vast amount of skill in the music industry and I feel pretty confident to learn and listen to him.
What I like is that he is hands on and we can play the drums together. This really helps me to lock into the beats.

I just enjoy playing the drums as hobby and it gets me away from the pressures of a busy schedule.
Therapeutic actually!
