I’m Craig have over 35 years’ experience of performing on both acoustic and electronic drums (live and in studios) in the entertainments industry. I learnt my musical profession from meeting some of the best session drummers in the world, observing them perform at drum clinics and having had master classes. I also had the pleasure of attending a ‘Rhythm Drum Camp’ At Bath Spa University College. I will guarantee you results by developing your overall drumming skills. My past and present students have a long list of achievements, which range from drumming qualifications, further education at music colleges, playing in a live band to simply playing their drums at home and knowing that they have attained a higher understanding of the instrument. I do this by getting to know you and introducing a drum program that relates to your individual learning curve, this helps you develop at your own pace in a relaxed studio environment or at home. Music Qualifications & Achievements: For many years of living breathing music is my life. Attending numerous Leeds College Of Music developments courses, along with hundreds of gigs and live events, for clients such as Jamie Oliver, and The Marriott Group, also headlined at Matthews Street Festival in Liverpool an extremely prestigious to have been invited to perform at.
