Advanced Technique and Chops based drum kit lessons.
From 45.98 £ /h
This class is all about perfecting your drumming techniques and chops to make you a stronger, faster, more creative and more confident drummer. I have been drumming for 15 years and I have played on drum lines (tenor drum) and in many types of bands including, Jazz, folk pop, rock, metal and progressive. I study drummers like Matt Garstka, Gavin Harrison, Thomas Pridgen, Matt Mcdonough, Danny Carey, Steve Judd and many others in that progressive vein, I will focus on practice techniques to build chops and well and techniques to separate limbs and master the polyrhythm. I believe my class will have useful and easy to understand information for drummers of all levels.

About Me
I have been drumming officially for 15 years but I have known that drumming was my calling my whole life. I had to go a long time without being able to learn drums because my parents were adamantly against it and when I got to middle school I finally went behind my parents back to ask my music teacher if I could be a drummer. He said yes, gave me my first pair of sticks and I was in. Since that day I have performed hundreds of times in front of hundreds of people in all sorts of musical settings. I have known for years that performing is my calling but I have also know for years that I truly enjoy teaching and I would love the chances to pass on some skills that I have spent years perfecting and I am truly proud of.
