I am an enthusiastic pop/rock drummer with a great visual style and stage presence, having taught privately and at a school over the past 5 years.
I have 20 years playing experience in bands, with recording, TV, radio, gigging, tours and festival experience under my belt.
My aim is to impart what I've learnt to drummers of any level who want to play solid pop/rock drums in a band context, in a dynamic way, playing for the song rather than showing off !
I have plenty of click track and studio experience and a couple of music video appearances.
I can advise on the best ways to prepare for gigs, particularly on professional attitude,set-ups, and time-saving when playing in London at tiny venues!
I do recommend wearing ear protection, sadly having been too clever to wear it in my twenties.
I will travel around the Bath, Trowbridge,North Wilts areas if you prefer me to visit. My hourly rate is £20.
I am CRB checked also.
I prefer the sound of larger drums of a 70's or 80's vintage and am a Zildjian-man.

MAD offers private, one on one drum tuition to players of all levels designed to develop students into professional musicians. It's our job to make you a better player and a better musician. We don't just teach you to play the drums, we teach you to play WELL. Whether you're looking to progress into the music industry or simply to get better at your hobby we give you the skills you need.
Unlike most traditional instrumental lessons we don't follow a course or curriculum. Every lesson and every exercise is crafted to suit the student's individual needs. Our methods are very unique in their ways and have delivered great results all round time and time again. Advancements in cognitive science have also improved our understanding of the way we learn to play the drums. We take this into account with every student and design exercises to aid the development of muscle memory, giving you the tools you need to express yourself at the drumset. And with over 30 years combined teaching experience you can rest assured we know our onions! In fact we're so confident about our methods that we can positively guarantee to get anybody, regardless of ability, playing the drums.
We also aim to make your lesson experience as pleasant and as enjoyable as possible. With this in mind, the teaching room has been equipped with top of the range equipment for the student, a sofa for any attendees and free drinks & confectionery. Students arriving early or awaiting a lift from others are also welcome to make use of our waiting room, complete with comfy sofas, TV, Playstation 2 and DVDs. Unfortunately due to licensing issues we don't offer terrestrial television.

Learning to play the drums is great fun! Whether you want to play drums professionally, study for graded exams, learn a specific song or style, or simply want a 'stress busting' hobby, we at DS can make it possible for you.
We provide personalised drum lessons and teaching programmes tailored to the individual needs of our students in the comfort of your own home - at a time that suits you.
We are based in Bradford, West Yorkshire but will travel to within a 20 mile radius of the City centre, covering areas such as Bingley, Baildon, Shipley, Keighley, Halifax, Leeds, Guiseley, Ilkley, Hawksworth, Wakefield, Denholme, Wilsden, Harden, Cullingworth and many others.
DS provides professional drum kit tuition to private students, adults and children, male and female, in the comfort and privacy of their own home, business or establishment. We work to fit in with your busy schedule.
Some people wanting to learn to play the drums have been put off by the prospect of visiting a drum studio, either by the inconvenience, or by feeling self-conscious or embarrassed. DS enables our students to realise their ambitions in private, in their own relaxed environment.
Our customers avoid the cost, wasted time and stress of travelling to a drum studio. No need to battle the traffic, struggle with parking, and queue in a drum shop, "waiting your turn". A one hour drumming lesson in a music shop/studio may sometimes take 2 or 3 hours out of your day!
Drum Lessons for children need not inconvenience parents at all! We simply turn up and teach your child at your home at the agreed time - parents can carry on with their regular routine (or sit in and listen - you may catch the bug yourself!!). No need to send your children out alone into the city centre when you don't have the time to take them.
DS provides the most convenient,safe, friendly, relaxed and time-saving way to learn to play the drums!
We also teach drumming in schools on a peripatetic basis, and, if required, we can supply drum kits as well. If you are a school head, or in charge of a music department and need a professional, reliable drum teacher, please call to discuss your requirements for drumming lessons and tuition.

Music & Experience:
Born in Sardinia (Italy) in 1979, I started playing drums at the age of 12. I studied at the Birdland Music School with great musicians such as Fabrizio Sferra, Massimo Moriconi and Danilo Rea. In 1999, I went to the University of Music in Rome and graduated in 2001. During the 2003 Umbria Jazz Berklee summer course, I had the opportunity to learn from well-known Berklee College teachers and attended master classes of wonderful artists including Bobby McFerrin and Elvin Jones. The same year, I won a scholarship to enter the Berklee College of Music. Since 1995, I have been collaborating with many musicians in various pop, rock, funk and jazz projects in Sardinia and Italy. I played for the "Orchestra Jazz della Sardegna" in 1998 and played with Umberto Smaila in Egypt in 2004. My trio Jellyfish and I have also had the chance to play with the fantastic Italian saxophone player Tino Tracanna and the Canadian singer Rita di Ghent. I am a recording session drummer in Sardinia and I have been working in studios for different bands like Tazenda, Bertas or Cento. I am also an experienced teacher and have been providing lessons at all levels both privately and in schools since 2003. I spent the year 2008 in London to achieve a Master Performance at the Drumtech and received the Trinity Guildhall ATCM Performance Diploma.

Drummer for 15 years with experience in hip-hop (3rd Rok), rock (Boredom Riots, Tyler Green, The Karm, Lance Dinauer), punk (Jason Miller), pop (Leika), progressive (Brainfoil, cupMT, Coma Lillies), jazz (Chris Votek, Peter Bonos), latin (Asier Leaxte), metal (covers band) and musical theatre (La Cage aux Folles and Joseph & the Technicolour Dreamcoat). I have recorded and produced my own music, as well as with most of the above names. Though not my first instrument, I have been learning guitar as long as drums, and have recorded guitar and keyboard with Amber Audio and performed live locally. I sing and have a lot on-stage acting experience. I started learning drums in northern California when I was a child, and returned to the UK 4 years ago.
Teaching Experience
3 years private tuition in the Barnet, Cockfosters and Whetstone areas. 1 year private tuition at North London Music Centre in Enfield Town. Worked as a teaching assistant with students of special needs for Southover Partnership from 2007-2008 where I was also contracted to teach music technology applications. I have directed actors in theatre productions in Santa Rosa, California, and led percussion facilitation and drama workshops in London and the US.
Approach to Music Tuition
I celebrate the uniqueness of each student, practice effective communication, and make lessons fun, challenging and encouraging. I provide graded work and practice, but also the experience that inspiration and self-teaching are crucial. There are many ways to learn, and private tuition lets me tailor the lesson to you. Im known to introduce new music regularly for discussion of style or technique, transcription or performance. I give you the opportunity to write their own grooves/fills, interpret a chart, learn by ear, and much more. Youll also be shown other avenues within the music business (i.e. second instrument or production).
Qualifications

He started playing the drums at the age of 5 after being inspired by a 45 record of Cozy Powell which he played over & over again. By the age of 9 he had joined his first brass band in the Forest of Dean, this was the first of three bands that Steve played with, the most prestigious being the Flowers Band where he has been principal percussionist for many years.
Performing in brass ensembles from an early age has given Steve experience in playing various styles of music and also the opportunity to perform at many prestigious venues such as London's Royal Albert Hall and Symphony Hall in Birmingham to name but a few. Steve has played in many countries throughout the world including, Thailand, USA, France, Belgium, Holland and Australia.
He has performed with many rock bands, jazz bands and orchestras and recorded countless times for the BBC. In 2000, he provided his percussion expertise for electronica duo 'Goldfrapp' on their Mercury Music Prize nominated debut album 'Felt Mountain'.

Hi, my name is Wally and I'm the personal drum tutor at Aswood Drum Tuition. I'm 27 and I've been playing drums since i was 11 years of age. I have a huge passion for drumming and I am always striving to better myself both as a drummer and a teacher.

This is why I tailor my teaching methods to suit every student, whether you want to learn more about theory, latin drumming and developing your technique or just want to learn to play to your favourite songs, Ashwood Drum Tuition is the place to learn.

My teaching style is informal but involved, with the emphasis on individuality, expression, melody, style and freedom. I encourage my students to approach the drum set as a melodic rhythmic instrument, to discover both their creative and expressive ranges and to listen to as many different kinds of music as possible. I believe that the key to becoming a good musical drummer and good musician is to embrace as much style and content as possible, from traditional approaches to more contemporary ideas. I encourage my students to be musical and to develop a keen ear for what is appropriate, relevant and contextual. I also encourage my students to be free-thinkers, to develop their own ideas and to play the way they want to play, not necessarily the way tradition dictates.

Hello,
I’ve been teaching in Liverpool since 1991, I have a great studio in the building behind ADC Drums. My studio has 2 kits so the pupil never has to leave their kit during a lesson. My studio also has a click track plenty of books & play a long music.
All beginners are given written examples of exercises to help them practice.
I have been supported by Paiste Cymbals since 1998 www.paiste.com and both kits are set up with Paiste Cymbals.
I purchased my 1st drum kit just before my 20th Birthday after spending 4 years air drumming. Although I started late I practiced a lot and took to the theoretical side of learning quite well. I developed my drumming through many lessons and have enjoyed attending many Drum Clinics in the
Since 1991 I have taught in many schools in the Merseyside area and used to be the Head Drum Teacher for
Review of Julian's Workshop -
It's surprising what you can organise in a week. One innocent phone call set the ball rolling for what was to be a very busy Sunday for myself and Alan Faulkner who runs today's venue; The Drum Centre in Plymouth.
The background on this evolution is that Paiste are sponsoring a number of workshops being run by
The local turnout was quite good, considering only 10 days of advertising. 25 or so eager drummers with a thirst for knowledge; Quite a mixed bunch both in age, early teens to mid fifties, and ability, 1 to 5 years playing. Julian took to the stage, and within 10 minutes had them in the palm of his hand. (His opening solo, aptly entitled 'Ambulance', should be seen to be believed.) There then followed two hours of interactive instruction which showed the vast array of possibilities using just single strokes, double strokes and paradiddles when applied to a drum kit utilising both hands and feet.
Not everything was theoretical learning though. Audience participation was very high on the agenda with a number of the younger members invited up to show their skills and develop new ones. A few jokes, some friendly banter, prizes, and, to the horror at the possibilities of eye loss, how to twirl and flip sticks whilst playing. (The sight of 20 or so teenagers throwing drumsticks around with varying degrees of control was, to say the least, a fascinating, yet frightening spectacle.)
Needless to say, the two hours flew by and before we knew it, the workshop was all over. It's a testament to Julian's teaching experience and skills as a drummer that everyone, including some local drum teachers, came away with some new ideas and approaches. His easy going and genial manner meant that no-one felt uncomfortable and the majority of what was taught was assimilated.
So to conclude, a very enjoyable experience by all, and showing credit to his own personal integrity, Julian didn't mention his own business at any time. He came here to play drums and teach. And did exactly that. And for the future? Alan has already booked the return trip for next year, young drummers in

From the age of 10 my life has revolved around music and playing the drum
kit. Whilst in school, I had lessons which involved the City & Guilds root
which I found was quite a military approach to playing the drums, and always
thought "there must be more to the drum kit than this". From there I played
in several bands in school. After fighting my way through the perks of
growing up I soon stopped the lessons, but my drumming interest did not stop
there. From leaving school my musical ambitions have been to join as many
bands as possible and play with as many did'nt musicians as I could find. I
believe this is the best way to learn an instrument. From the age of approx
23-27 I had advanced drum lessons through the drumsense network. I found
this a very practical and interesting way of learning the drums and learnt
more about drums than I ever thought I would thanks to David Cox -
Drumsense. I loved this teaching experience so much, I established a need to
show and share what I have experienced. I now teach drums myself, which I
really enjoy, and have a growing number of students. As part of my ongoing
interest in music I also write my on material which includes new drum beats
I come up with, and is aimed at my students.

Hola all. I've been doing music since around 2000, I play 7 instruments but drums I've been playing since around 2002 (my second but most practised instrument), videos can be seen of my playing @ the youtube provided above. This is what I like playing but not 'all' I play/teach - I teach what the student wants - I'm not going to force you to learn sheet music if you don't want to/nor teach you styles you don't like etc I will teach what I think is best to you and if you want to do something else/anything in particular, that'll be what we learn. It's all about what the student wants. I charge 20 an hour, am based in Rainham, Kent (South East) and I don't do home visits for the time being - lessons are conducted at my home.
Whether you want to learn advanced double bass playing, dance beats, stick tricks, speed techniques, anything... give me a shout and I will do my best to help you progress.
Thanks for looking.

Hello,I started playing the drums when I was just 9 years old. My drum teacher used the Drumsense material as part of his teaching programme, so I know first hand how comprehensive the Drumsense course is.I have experienced and enjoyed playing in bands with a broad range of styles from Rock to Musical Theatre and am currently playing in a professional band based in Southampton.To deepen my knowledge and experience of drumming techniques I have attended many drum clinics with well known drummers such as Mark Heaney, Steve White, Craig Blundell and Russell Gillbrook.
I love drumming and want to share my knowledge and enthusiasm to inspire others to learn good basic techniques and then help them develop and refine their skills. The lesson price is competitive with an option of buying 11 lessons for the price of 10. I offer private drum tuition from my studio at home or can travel to you depending on the distance involved.

In addition to the transcription of Williams drum part, the author provides an in-depth analysis. He breaks down some of the central characteristics of Williams drumming and illustrates how the concept of rhythmic tension and release is used to apply these features during his interaction with the rest of the ensemble. He also examines one of Williams most distinctive features his use of the dotted quarter note cross-rhythm.Tony Williams - So What (1964) is a valuable addition to the literature of jazz drumming and will be of interest to all serious drummers from the student to the experienced professional performer.

lucky enough to play a huge diversity of styles, from acid jazz to pub rock,
soul to grunge, and much more. James has played countless gigs all over the
singer-songwriter Nicky Swann. He has also written articles on motivation
and practice for Modern Drummer, the world's most widely read drum magazine.
