Lessons Tailored To You
I have been utterly invested in music since my early adolescence, starting out initially as a drummer and then moving into a study of harmony and composition during my years studying at a contemporary music academy developed my love for piano playing. I am active as a touring and session musician, having toured the world playing with various acts and being recognised for my abilities as a composer in 2017 when an album I composed was charted at #6 and #10 respectively on Billboard’s hard rock and new artist charts. I have been invested in teaching music for roughly three years now.

Advice for New Students
Professional Drum Teacher In Leicester
Welcome to Drum Lessons Leicester! As a professional drum teacher based in Leicester, I’m excited to share my passion for music and drumming. My lessons cater to complete beginners of all ages, so whether you're picking up a drum kit for the first time or looking to refine your skills, you'll find the perfect environment to learn.
What to Expect
In our first drum lesson, we'll focus on getting you comfortable with the drum kit, including the basic techniques and rhythms. I believe in a fun and approachable teaching style, ensuring that learning is enjoyable while still being informative. Throughout our lessons, you can expect to engage with various aspects of drumming, including music theory, playing techniques, and essential rudiments that form the foundation of your drumming skills.
Apply Music Theory To Your Drumming
As a professional drum tutor in Leicester, I find that incorporating music theory into drum lessons is absolutely essential for any aspiring drummer. Understanding the fundamentals of music theory not only enhances your ability to play the drum kit, but it also deepens your overall appreciation of music. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced player, grasping concepts like rhythm, scales, and time signatures can transform the way you approach your instrument.
Enhancing Your Drumming Skills
When you learn to read music or understand different rhythms, you become more than just a drummer; you become a well-rounded musician. During our drum lessons in Leicester, I’ll teach you how music theory relates to drumming techniques, enabling you to apply what you learn in each lesson to your practice at home.
This integration of theory and practice makes playing music a more fulfilling experience. It allows you to express yourself creatively and provides you with the tools to collaborate with other musicians effectively.
Tailored Approach for All Ages
At my drum school, I tailor lessons to suit your ability, whether you're young or not so young, to ensure you grasp the theoretical concepts while mastering the physical aspects of playing the drums.
My approach is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring music of all styles. By taking this approach, we can touch on different techniques and musical styles that resonate with you, making each lesson as brilliant and engaging as possible. I can help students transition from online lessons or lessons from another Leicester drum school to my lessons and you'd be surprised how easy it is.
If you're ready to deepen your understanding of music theory while mastering the drum kit, don’t hesitate to reach out today! Let’s work together to elevate your drumming with each lesson you take.
Learn All Styles & Genres
At my drum school in Leicester, one of the most enriching aspects of our lessons is the opportunity to explore a variety of musical styles. Whether you’re into rock, jazz, funk, or even classical music, you can learn how to play them all on the drum kit. I believe that every genre offers unique techniques and rhythms that can enhance your overall drumming skills.
Rock and Pop
Rock and pop music often form the backbone of many students' drumming journeys. In our lessons, I’ll teach you the essential techniques to keep a solid backbeat while exploring the signature fills that define these genres. These lessons not only enhance your rhythmic sense but they also incorporate music theory, allowing you to understand the structure behind your favourite tracks.
Jazz and Funk
Jazz and funk bring a level of improvisation and syncopation that can be incredibly rewarding to learn. I enjoy teaching my students how to incorporate complex rhythms and swing feel into their playing. In just one lesson, you might grasp the essentials of jazz comping or funk grooves, enhancing your versatility as a drummer.
Latin and World Music
For those looking to broaden their horizons, Latin and world music styles can open a wondrous array of techniques and patterns. I have a passion for teaching these distinctive rhythms, ensuring that you gain a profound understanding of both the historical and theoretical aspects. This can be especially beneficial for students of any age who are keen on enhancing their listening skills and exploring global music traditions.
No matter your age or skill level, I’m committed to making our drum lessons enjoyable and informative. Each lesson is designed around your interests and goals, ensuring that you find joy in the learning process. If you’re ready to add some flair to your playing and learn different styles whilst mastering the instrument, get in touch today. Let’s make your drumming experience as exciting and fulfilling as possible!
