No matter what your age or level of experience, there is something for everyone when it comes to learning the drums. 

Drum lessons are a great way to develop a new skill, and there’s no need to purchase a drum kit at the beginning; all you need is a pair of drumsticks! Also, with modern electronic drum sets, drumming no longer has to be the loud noisy activity it once was. Playing drums is an excellent way to de-stress, and helps to develop both concentration and co-ordination skills.

For almost 20 years, I have provided drum lessons in all styles of music and theatre to a vast amount of students, both young and old, from absolute beginners to seasoned pros, and everything in between.

The studio is equipped with two kits and all modern training aids required to provide an exciting, comfortable learning environment. 

It is never too early or too late to start, so why not book a lesson today!


Colin has taught our son drums for years and has managed to keep him interested in all that time which is no easy task in this modern age! Joel loves going to his lesson every week and has really come on leaps and bounds.
