Drum lessons

How I teach drums

Drums follow the same method as my guitar lessons. You work through exercises and short sections of real songs, each one there because of what it teaches you. The beats build on each other, and the technique comes with them.

There are no grades and no exams. The aim is that you can sit down at a kit and play the music you like.

Who comes for drum lessons

• Complete beginners, which is most people.
• Intermediate drummers.
• Children of any age. I ask a parent to stay in the room for younger pupils.
• Adults, at any level.

I also play guitar, and teach it. Some people come for both. See guitar lessons and prices.

Drum lesson questions

Do I need my own drum kit for lessons?

Not for the lessons. They are on a full standard kit at my home in Holme on Spalding Moor.

What age can a child start drum lessons?

I teach all ages. For younger children I ask a parent to stay in the room for the lesson.

Do you teach drum grades?

No. There are no grades and no exams on drums either. Lessons follow the same practical method as guitar.

What is included in drum lessons?

One-to-one teaching on a full kit, at £30 an hour or £15 for half an hour. You get a free pair of drumsticks at your third lesson.
