drum lessons

Please see below all the kind words studentS have given:

  • "Alex is a monster player whose skill set is years beyond his age. He is a serious powerhouse combination of chops and feel!" - Mike Johnston, Famous Drum Educator

  • "Alex comes always well prepared for the lessons. I have two children learning to drum with him, and every lesson is individually tailor-made for each student. He is very good with children and both of my boys think he is really cool. I think he is a brilliant role model for my sons." Shuko Ward, Parent

  • "As a mature beginner I was a little apprehensive at taking up drum lessons, however drumming was something I have always been interested in and decided to take the plunge. Fortunately for me I started lessons with Alex and have never looked back. Alex is clearly an excellent drummer in his own right, his lessons are well structured and conducted in a relaxed manner, making the lesson an enjoyable experience (accept ghost notes!!). Alex will also go out of his way to find and prepare simplified drum notations for your favourite songs, which he will then help you learn to play. Above all, Alex has the patience of a saint! I would have no hesitation in recommending Alex to anyone interested in playing the drums." - Michael Henderson, Student

  • "I really enjoy my lessons with Alex, He is extremely talented, his enthusiasm for the drums is infectious & he has infinite patience. Thoroughly recommend his lessons" - Kay Escott, Student

  • "Alex is adaptable, so chilled out and relaxed, he gets the best out of even the most idiosyncratic student! Tolerant to a fault, but no push-over, his lessons are fun but well structured, motivational and productive. Alex is kind, self-deprecating, effortlessly understated and cool. He's a very talented musician and an excellent teacher. Most importantly Alex has developed a good understanding of my child, they have a great rapport, and the result is lots of fun and progress. Thanks Alex!" - Jayne Gillitt, Parent 

  • "I felt a little self conscious about wanting to learn the drums at my age but now I am hooked! The relaxed and encouraging atmosphere Alex provides, alongside his clear instruction and helpful tips, means I am learning new skills each week." - Lola Stephens, Student

  • " Your guidance has produced such great results. Before your lessons I genuinely felt that our son ought to "give up" with the lack of evident progress, enjoyment or purpose. However, he wanted to carry on. He knows his own mind, if he doesn't want to do something, he tells us. Rugby got the bullet, With drums he did have a genuine interest and therefore we really wanted to give it every chance to see some progress, listening to him now is an absolute joy, and he revels in the fact that we obviously enjoy listening to him. Thank you so much for your input to date which seems to us to have made all the difference." - S Parfitt, Parent

  • " Alex has been marvellous for Zac, and given him so much. We've watched him grow in confidence under his tuition, he enjoys every lessons with him, Alex is a great role model and we can't praise him enough." - J Timms, Parent

  • "How privileged we are to have found such an awesome drummer who can teach and relate to young children. Alex is very inspirational. In my seven year old son's words "sensational!" - Stevie Lloyd, Parent

  • "Alex has been teaching my son for about 2 years, Alex has a relaxed, friendly and fun approach to teaching, putting his students at ease to engage, learn and enjoy making music. I've been delighted to see my sons progress and passion for playing as well as his confidence growing every week all thanks to Alex's commitment" - Kathryn Clarke, Parent

  • "Alex is an excellent teacher. He is always punctual and reliable and is good at communicating with pupils. He is organised and has prepared my son really well for his drum exams, with excellent results. My son enjoys his lessons and is enthusiastic and inspired thanks to Alex's teaching. I would recommend him very highly." - Katie Leaver, Parent

  • "Northwood School are lucky to have you, the children are learning so much" - Mr Karasavvidis, School Head Of Music

  • "Alex is a great teacher, he is always well prepared with the lesson plans and gave me options at the start of each lesson to see what I personally wanted to work on, to help me towards achieving my long term goals within drumming. Due to Alex regularly teaching student's who take the RSL Grades , he went out of his way to teach me Trinity College grades. I learnt a lot whilst being taught by Alex." - Ashley Field, Student

  • "My son has only been learning a few months, but loves his lessons with Alex and is already playing fantastically, I would definitely recommend his teaching!!" - Nicola Kemp, Parent
