“Fantastic tuition by Craig, in a relaxed ‘chilled’ atmosphere. There is always a warm happy welcome for my son, lessons are made fun & Craig changes the way he teaches to suit his students learning style. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“ I needed someone to get me playing the right way, rather than trying to be a rock star. I’ve got that from Craig. His approach is on my wavelength. He knows what I need to do and how to get me there.”

Richard

Student

“I have been taught by other drum teachers who were boring and went through the motions, but, Craig is different he teaches from the heart, he has a real passion for the drums, he is up to date and knows what is required from today’s drummers, he brings out the very best in his students.”

My Experience as a Teacher

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 profession from meeting some of the best session drummers in the world, observing them perform at drum clinics and master classes. I also had the pleasure of attending a ‘Rhythm Drum Camp’ At Bath Spa University College.

For many years of living and breathing music has been 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 I have also headlined at Matthews Street Festival in Liverpool.

I will use my playing and performing experience to make sure you get the most out of your playing and that we learn in a direction that you want to learn in.
