    I've known Mitch Germansky for eleven years. He's an accomplished percussionist who can play in various styles: regimental/traditional, concert, jazz, and pop. He performs regularly in various groups throughout Central Jersey and is just as handy on a regimental snare drum as he is on a drumset. Mitch is a big supporter of music education for all, and this is most evident by the continuing musical lineage that exists in his family. He is a thoughtful and conscientious human being that would serve the novice or advanced student very well.

I look forward to meeting you.
