English drum tutor to get you playing with a band!

From 32 £ /h

I’m an experienced drummer. I’ve played for many years across all genres with live bands. My classes really focus on new drummers wanting to get out gigging with live bands. Yes we will work on rudiments and fundamentals, but more importantly I’ll teach you how to work with other musicians, what to expect in a live scenario, the issues you may experience, the great things you’ll also experience, but most importantly how to have fun with your drums.

37-year-old professional drummer with more than 20 years of experience gives drum lessons in Viroflay or at home (within 10kms)

I was trained at the CIM (School of Jazz and Contemporary Music), at the Dante Agostini Drum School and at the Tech Music School in London.

I have been teaching for about ten years.

Classes are held in a relaxed atmosphere and I always adapt to the needs of the student.
I approach the technical aspect of the instrument (striking, drumsticks, independence, coordination ...), the rhythmic solfeggio but also the work of the tempo, the sound, the musicality and the groove which are essential to play in Group.
I also work on songs (read, set up) chosen according to musical tastes and level. All styles are discussed (Rock, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Reggae, World music, Hip-hop, ...)

For the battery I propose:
Beginners: an introduction to the instrument to quickly play the first elementary rhythms. We mix the study of pieces and theoretical exercises.
The choice and implementation of the method adapts to temperaments and aspirations. Rhythms, breaks, technique, progressive learning of reading.
For students of a more advanced level, we work the basics,
independence of members, rhythmic theory and more complex rhythms.
Methods used: Dante Agostini

For percussion:
Introduction to different oriental rhythms
Initiation in technique of Bendir, Darbouka, Daff, Riqq
And for more advanced students I teach the different forms of oriental music and we work on pieces of repertoire of oriental music (metrics: 4/4 3/4 6/8 10/8 9/8 7/4 ......)

Hello,

I like to transmit and exchange with my students.
Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me.

My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice.
I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory").
I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method.

All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

Whether it is to discover the drums or to improve in a style of music, (rock, jazz, hip hop) each course adapts to the desires and needs of the student. The goal is to motivate you to practice the instrument, through courses combining improvisation, study of a musical work, deciphering of a score, coordination and work of independence.

Only one thing matters, motivation!

All levels, all styles of music
Men / Women / Children

“90% of my students are able to play up to 100 songs after the first lesson.”

Drumming should be a fun experience. No time wasted trying to learn music theory or reading. We get straight to the point, playing music the way we want to. We'll get past the beginner level in just 2 or 3 lessons, then move on to more advanced things.

The lessons are designed to connect as much as possible with music and passion, and thus be able to express it creatively through the instrument. The courses are intended for everyone, including beginners and children.

BEGINNERS:
Intuitive and musical approach to the instrument
Essential Rhythms of Popular Music
Basic techniques and autonomy
repertoire

ADVANCED:
rudiments and their application
Advanced independence
Work on grooves of different styles: Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues, Latin Improvisation
Understanding the harmony of music and other instruments Repertoire
Other advanced concepts
How to work professionally

We will seek creativity and enjoyment through music, to connect in the most inspiring and musical way. All of this creates a solid foundation for playing the instrument and routines that work on concentration, technique, and, above all, creativity.
The lessons take place in a music studio. There is also the possibility of giving lessons at the student's home.

Hello everyone,

My name is Sacha, I am a 32 year old professional drummer. I am endorsed by Soultone Cymbals (USA) and Agner Drumsticks (Switzerland). I started drums at the Dante Agostini school, I stayed there for four years and then I studied jazz drums at the conservatory for three years.
I have been giving lessons for almost ten years now because I have always loved teaching and sharing my experience!
I am currently part of several groups: ABRAHMA (stoner/doom), DELIVERANCE (post black/sludge) we were notably at Hellfest 2022 on the Valley stage and Temple and Le Cha (pop/funk in French).
I was also the touring drummer at the end of 2023/2024 for the band AL QASAR (many international dates including WOMAD 2024 in Australia and Sziget in Hungary in 2023)

I have rather rock/metal oriented influences, I was part of the group Sweat and Tears for four years with more than five hours of repertoire, resident at the Temple Rock Tavern (formerly Guinness Tavern). I also have experience in events with jazz bands (covers of standards) and jazz/funk with brass section (Stevie Wonder, Incognito, Jamiroquai, new JB's, etc.)

I give lessons in the HF studios of the 9th and 14th so that students can learn directly on an acoustic drum kit, which is very important to me.
The course is adapted to the student's level and desires, the goal being to allow him to be autonomous on the instrument as quickly as possible by teaching him the technical and reading basics. My method is inspired by the Agostini method but focuses more on learning pieces.

As a passionate, self-taught drummer, I offer drum lessons focused on practice, rhythmic understanding, and the joy of playing. We'll work on the fundamentals (tempo, coordination, independence), develop grooves, accompany songs, and provide personalized advice tailored to your musical style (rock, funk, hip-hop, etc.).

Classes for children, teenagers and adults.
I can travel to students' homes who have a drum kit or to music studios in Paris.

Let's play!

Without conservatory or other diploma(s), I developed a passion and an ear for music from a very young age.
Being self-taught allowed me to very quickly develop a curiosity for music in general, to play different instruments and to create several music groups, concerts, studio recordings, etc.

I adapt to each student and their desires. I start with the material they wish to work on, for example a piece, then I structure the work around it in order to progressively address all the elements necessary for playing the drums.
My goal is for the student to enjoy playing while progressing technically and musically.
