I’ve been hitting things with sticks for about twenty years. Hearing the classic drum intro to ‘Song 2’ by Blur was the turning point – I remember hearing that and thinking: “This is SO COOL – what is that guy doing?”

I soon started playing in bands, and have been gigging regularly ever since then. I’ve played in pop, indie, punk, metal, hardcore, and grunge bands. I have toured around the UK, France, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands, and I have recorded many times at studios around London.

I have studied music extensively, achieving Grade 8 with Merit at the Trinity Guildhall School of Music, and this has provided a solid foundation for my teaching.

I started teaching drums about ten years ago. If you’re passionate about something, and you know a bit about it – why not pass that enthusiasm on to someone else? Helping my students to find their voice and express themselves is something that gives me great joy. Playing the drums is something that has proven benefits for both mental and physical health, and best of all: it’s FUN!
