The Collective is the world’s premier drum school. Students from all over the world come to New York City to study with the great faculty and take the numerous programs The Collective offers.

"It’s a privilege to teach at The Collective. I was a student here at one time, and it helped me tremendously in my development. Now I have an opportunity to give back, and be a part of such a great learning environment." —Pat Petrillo

Here's a quote from a recent student at The Collective:

"Pat, I am working hard on all the things I learned from you at the Collective 5 Day Intensive. I know I am already a much better drummer from the 3 lessons with you. Thanks for your enthusiasm...you really cut to the meat and the potatoes. and being a skinny, wimpy vegetarian, I needed that. Thanks Pat! " —Gordon Kay

Pat is at The Collective 5 days a week, when he is not touring with an artist. Even if he does go out of town, he is back within a week or so.
