About

About	I am a full time professional percussionist and drum teacher currently teaching drum lessons online and in schools in Norwich, Norfolk where I have taught hundreds of people over many years. You can see examples of my drum kit playing here and here. There is also an example of a school project that I arranged for some of my drum lesson pupils here. I teach Beginner Drum Kit lessons online as well as Percussion lessons of all playing styles to all ages and abilities. I also work with Advanced pupils at grade 8 at beyond. My drum lesson plans are designed to fit the individuals needs and to ensure that everybody gets what they want from their drum lessons and that they develop into the complete player. Whatever your goal with drumming and percussion, I am happy to help. I am supported by and endorse Amedia Cymbals and Balbex Drum sticks. My extensive touring experience has seen me playing drum kit on line ups alongside artists such as Ed Sheeran, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Nerfherder, Reel Big Fish, Hundred Reasons, Feeder, Sugarcult and many more. I have performed drum kit and Percussion in venues such as The Cavern in Liverpool, The Royal Festival Hall, The O2 Academies, The Southbank Centre, The Bull and Gate and many more.
