A graduate of the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, I help beginner drummers embark on their musical journey.

From 35 £ /h

I started playing drums at the age of 12. I spent my teenage years in my dad's home studio with my best friend at the time, who played bass. 30 years later, I enjoy sharing the magic of music and pay close attention to understanding the basics of playing in a band: music, especially live music, is first and foremost a human experience.

Extra information

Home lessons. Lessons can be held at my home in Waterloo, using a Roland TD-11 electronic drum kit. I provide online practice exercises from the lessons so you can continue between sessions. A typical lesson includes: warm-up, stick technique, rhythm reading, 2-3 exercises tailored to your skill level, and practice with a song of your choice. My lessons are specifically designed for beginners and students who want to progress quickly with their instrument. As a certified FWB instructor, I have experience teaching children. I have two sons myself, aged 12 and 14.

Professional drummer and drum teacher gives private lessons at his home.
All levels!
My goal is to teach to the student the control of the instrument as much as the concrete pleasure of the game in accompaniment to the music. Indeed I have a great habit of stage performances in France and Belgium that I willingly share.
I have a recording studio at home which allows me to record students, groups but also to transmit my knowledge in sound engineering.

Africa is the center of the rhythms of the 6/8 register. Benin's musical identity comes from the many sources of our cultures and general traditions. This course is initiated in order to allow drummers to discover and access all the rhythmic potential for their performance through the learning and practice of Benin Polyrythmie.
You will learn among others:
- the basics of 6/8.
- basic rhythms.
- the different combinations on the battery.
- Grooves and improvisation trials.
- How to discover the key of 6/8 without needing to be Africans or Beninese.

Graduated musician offers music lessons for all ages, experiences and interests. The main process will take place considering the previous knowledge of the student, in order to start a personal and individual learning path. Lessons can be about Drums, but also music theory, harmony, ear training, rhythm, percussions, double bass. The main tool will be the listening and the comprehension of musical sounds, forms and feelings, in order to avoid a mere intellectual study. Playing and listening first!

Do lezione in Italiano - Descrizione disponibile in Italiano

.........................................................................................................................................................

The course method, inspired by the Agostini school (French method used in French and Belgian academies and conservatories) is divided between technique and drums. At the rate of one session each we will focus once on technique and movements outside the drums (on pads) and the other time on the drums and the application of technique and movements.

-> The technique lessons and the movements will be those of the so-called 'Moeller technique' that I learned through his direct lineage of student.
-> The drum lessons are greatly inspired by the pedagogy of the M.A.I. (Music Academy International - Nancy (fr)) and in particular that of Richard-Paul Morellini, renowned instructor.

The courses are complete, in-depth but above all specifically thought of to be progressive. They are suitable for children from 7 years old as well as adults of all ages.

=> Particular attention is paid to the movements and their correct application, to the total independence of the limbs and finally to an understanding of the rhythm and its theory. My main goal is to give the student complete control behind the drums and skills to be able to self-learn any piece in any musical style. 1 hour of weekly lessons are never enough, they should only be used to fuel the passion that will make you play at home more and more.

On demand or for advancs students:
- I am very passionate about the study of South American rhythms. Due to their complexity, apart from the samba and Baïon ostinatos, they are not included in the program before the advanced level. They can be at the request of the student.
- I am also specialized in metal (musical style) and double pedal. The latter is not included in the program unless requested by the student. The double pedal courses are based on the methodology of Virgil Donati.

Technique:
* Moeller technique (the 'whipping motion' - the Free stroke -Full/Half/Low stroke - accepting the rebound - its application etc.)
* Snare rudiments and their applications through reading systems
* Readings of scores and exercises for the snare drum
* Speed drills
* Military marches
* Control of the different subdivisions (quarter notes - eighth notes - triplets - sixteenth notes - quintuplets - sextuplets - triple eighth notes - nonolets etc.)
* Displacement of accents and polyrhythms
* On request, double pedal technique (application of the Moeller to the double pedal as well as everything listed above but with the feet)

Drums:
* Bass drum reading and independance
* Snare drum reading and independance
* Applications of ghost notes
* The 16 sixteenth-notes ostinatos
* Jazz readings and independence
* Binary and ternary readings
* Coordination and movements of both feet
* Dynamics on the instrument
* Creation of fills and original drum grooves
* On request, application of the double pedal
* On request or for advanced students, readings and independence of South American rhythms (study and independence of the clave/Cascara/Mozambique etc.)

Weekly private lessons aimed to serve the ultimate goal of performing LIVE with a professional band, in front of real audiences, in real music venues.

Would you like to start learning drums?

It may seem impossible at first but with the correct technique and guidance it will not take long before you start to build complex grooves, fill them with fast solos, and play your favorite songs like its nothing.

However, to achive these, you need to develop your fundamental skills such as stick and finger control, rhythm and timing, limb independence and basic rudiments, and luckily, I know exactly how you can develop these skills fast and efficient.

The lessons are practical and musical from the start. Rather than treating exercises as isolated tasks, I explain how they connect to real playing, songs, grooves, and fills.

I have more than 10 years of drumming experience and completed Trinity College London Drum Kit Grade 8, with Distinction, which taught me to play most genres, including rock, pop, jazz, samba at an advanced level.

If you have any questions, feel free to send a message.
