If you’re less interested in drumming specifically and more interested in performance, clarity, and mindset, you may want to explore my coaching work here.
In addition to my work as a professional touring drummer, I’ve spent over 20 years helping students develop their playing, musicality, and confidence behind the kit.
I’ve taught privately and at the Academy of Contemporary Music, where I was one of the longest-serving drum tutors across all levels of the curriculum.
Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from and work with some incredible musicians—Steve Smith, Chester Thompson, Bill Bruford, Simon Phillips, Gary Wallis and others—whose influence continues to shape both my playing and teaching.
My focus is simple:
👉 help you become a better, more musical, more confident drummer
Whether that’s tightening your fundamentals, improving feel and time, or preparing for real-world playing situations, everything we work on is practical and directly applicable.
My teaching is grounded in real experience—touring, recording, and performing with artists including Hugh Cornwell, Wishbone Ash, Dr John Cooper Clarke and Fish.
Here’s an example of how I teach—breaking down a more complex part from Tool’s "Eulogy" into simple, playable steps:
If there’s something you want to play but don’t yet know how, I’ll help you get there—clearly, efficiently, and with a process that actually works.
In addition to practical drum lessons, I also offer sessions that go beyond technique.
​
These can include:
How to perform under pressure
Dealing with overthinking on stage
Building consistency and confidence
Navigating the realities of touring and professional music
​
Because great playing isn’t just physical—it’s mental.
Lessons are available in-person (Surrey, UK) and online via Zoom.
