Sam Barnes

Become the drummer you want to be.

My drum tuition is bespoke to your needs & goals. I am here to help you every step of the way as you gain more confidence as a performer, develop your musical vocabulary, explore new concepts & techniques, build a strong foundation of the basics, prepare for an audition or exam, or learn how to play your favourite songs.

Lessons are delivered in a fun & relaxed environment on professional equipment using a wide variety of resources accessible through an online student portal.

I offer all of my drum lessons from my private teaching studio in Brighton, or online tuition via Zoom so that you can learn from wherever you are based.
