If you’re looking for fun and supportive drum lessons in London, you’ve come to the right place. No matter your age or ability, I’m passionate about helping you discover the joy of drumming while guiding you to take your skills to the next level.
Hi there, I am an experienced drumming teacher who's achieved grade 8. I teach grades 1-8 with a 100% success rate, or train those looking to learn for fun. I teach in school settings, at your place or mine. There's nothing I love more than seeing the potential of each individual unlocked. Patient, flexible and encouraging are all traits I like to display in order to create a safe and comfortable environment for all my students.

I offer drum lessons in a variety of locations. You can learn at my fully equipped drum studio, in the comfort of your own home, or online via video sessions. I’m also happy to travel for bespoke lesson setups to suit your needs.
Drumming is incredibly fun and rewarding—and getting started is easier than you might think. In your very first lesson, I’ll have you playing your first beat and feeling comfortable with the drum kit.
If you’ve played drums before but want to refresh your skills, you’re in the right place. In our first lesson, I’ll assess your current level and we’ll talk about your goals so we can plan the best way forward for your drumming journey.
If you’re an advanced drummer, my specialist lessons can help you refine your technique and enhance your performance and musicality. They’re also perfect for getting back into top form after taking some time away from the drums.
My Studio is in Enfield (London)
I also cover: Friern Barnet, New Southgate, Palmers Green, Southgate, Winchmore Hill, Wood Green

I believe that learning should be fun and engaging, so I incorporate interactive activities and games into my tutoring sessions to make them more enjoyable and effective.

I provide individualized attention to each of my students, so they can get the support and guidance they need to succeed. I am patient, understanding, and committed to helping my students reach their full potential.

Each student is different but typically I like to always reassure my students and make them feel at ease. It's important to create a safe space where they feel comfortable to thrive yet also comfortable making mistakes as that is part of learning.
I feel it's as important to connect on both a professional and personal level with my students to find a bit more about them and vice versa. I was always inspired by the teachers that made an effort to get to know me and background on music and why I started when I was younger as it showed they genuinely cared. Students can also expect me to identify their strengths and weaknesses and tailor my lessons around that.
I usually use Trinity Rock and Pop school's teaching syllabus when submitting students for grades. If they don't want to be taught grades I'm more than happy to help teach them gain confidence with learning skills on each instrument. I definitely try to always make the lessons fun and enjoyable, as well as being focused on the task at hand. This is because I have found that in my experience of teaching balance is key, as well as variation.
Every student has unique needs for support. Tell me more about what you are hoping a tutor can do for you, and I will start on a plan to help you get what you need.
