I offer one-to-one drum lessons in and around Cambridge, based on my newly published book ‘The T-I-M-E Drum System’, available on Amazon.

My approach to drum tuition is to split drumming into several different ‘elements’ (flams, four-stroke ruffs, single stroke rolls, 4/4 playing, double bass drumming, double stroke rolls and mixed stickings) and then to look at each in terms of Technique, Improvisation, Music (learning songs), and ‘Extras’ (more advanced concepts).

I usually offer 45-minute lessons at 2pm, 4.15, 5.30 and 6.45, Monday to Thursday. I teach by going out to see people, which seems to work well as students then learn on their own drum-kit and can practise on that. I also offer a first lesson for free, an informal get together to come and meet you, listen to you play (I could maybe play a bit too!), just to get an idea of where you are and where to go from.

I can also take students through the Rockschool Board of drum grades, and currently I have a 100% pass rate. Above all though, the aim is to…have fun when you drum!!
