Hi, I’m James. I’ve been playing the drums for 20+ years, with plenty of live gigging and recording experience across a range of different genres. It’s a huge passion of mine!

Whether you’re picking up the sticks for the first time, or an experienced drummer looking to add some new tricks to your repertoire, we can work together to achieve your drum goals.

People learn in different ways, so my teaching style is catered to the individual and where that person is at on the day. As much as learning to read music and working through rudiments is important, sometimes a student might just want to play along to their favourite song at full volume!

Topics covered in lessons include:

• Rudiments

• Independence on the kit

• Creativity on the kit

• Time signatures

• Keeping time

• Reading sheet music

• Playing to music
