Learn to play the drums - or just polish up on your technique

Drumming is all about finding your rhythm, and I’m here to help you discover yours. My lessons are designed to be as flexible as you need – you can play in my fully-equipped, sound-proofed studio or, if it’s easier, I can come to you. It’s all about creating an environment where you’re comfortable and ready to learn.


If you have your own drum kit, feel free to bring it along. Prefer to use mine? No problem – I’ve got everything you need to get started without missing a beat.

Every lesson is tailored to suit your goals, whether it’s nailing your favourite song, mastering tricky techniques, or just having fun while you play. To help you progress between sessions, I can even film your lesson so you can practice at home and see how far you’ve come.
