Drum Lessons in London

I offer tailored drum tuition to London based drummers who have played drums for a few years and who are willing to make the effort of practicing. For a lessons we would book a studio somewhere in London for 2 hours, or I could visit you if you have a drum kit at home. Contact me and we'll sort something out.

Drum Pad

If you would like a technique lesson on the drum pad, I am happy to invite you to my home for a couple of hours. I use all drum exercises I have listed on this site but there is a lot more to it. There are countless ways of using these rudiments and exercises and it is better if you can understand and play them well on the pad, or a snare, before you sit down behind the kit. That way you can get the most of it without getting lost in the rudiment djungle. Send me an email with your favourite exercises and I will upload them on the site.

Tips

Before you do that, however, I suggest you to have a look at some of the really good technique DVDs that exist: Jojo Mayer's Secret Weapons For The Modern Drummer, Tommy Igoe's Great Hands For A Lifetime or any video with Joe Morello (who recorded his video a few decades earlier).
