Adam has a great personal and enthusiastic approach to his drum lessons. As a fairly advanced player I was a little unsure when going for drum lessons again but this new fresh approach really helped me identify the areas of my technique that need improving and most of all its always a good laugh. Would highly recommend!

After years of air drumming to my favourite music, I finally decided to take some lessons to see if I can do it for real. I am delighted I did as Adam is a patient, empathetic and insightful teacher of this inspiring art form . I am really enjoying it, so much so that I’ve written a grovelling letter to Santa asking for my first drum kit for Christmas. Rock on 2020! More...

Adam is an amazing drummer and a superb natural teacher. He has an attention do detail coupled with a level of patience that is second to none. I came to Adam as a self taught drummer, riddled with bad habits and incorrect techniques that stopped me from progressing a long time ago. He is already showing me a way through and I can't wait to see where this goes. More...

I stumbled on the School of Drumming looking online for somebody local that could help me dust the cobwebs off my sticks and re-learn what was now a blur from childhood! Adam was exactly what i was looking for, offering a very personal learning experience, catering to my goals, honing in on those bad habits I had picked up so long ago and explaining everything with such attention to detail, an ask of mine on the first lesson! He is patient, extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic about what he does, every lesson is a great one! More...

I found Adam and the School of Drumming by accident and am so glad I did. Adam is very patient and clear in his teaching and it is great that for a non-musical complete beginner he makes sure I know everything from the ground up, including teaching me to read drum music. Highly recommended!

Adam has an amazing ability to impart technical information at the same time as making learning fun. He is a degree level teacher, not just a chap who has done a bit of drumming in his spare time and is an amazing teacher, especially in the face of the adversity that I present, as a slow learning student. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services. More...

I am loving my drum lessons with Adam! He is encouraging and continually helping me move forwards in my drumming skills. He works hard to ensure we head in an appropriate direction for what I want to achieve, but making sure I am understanding about the theories underpinning playing the drums and reading music. He is gentle and patient and I would highly recommend School of Drumming to anyone looking to learn to play the drums. More...

The facilities in the school of drumming are incredible: the studio has high quality equipment (instead of the classic £200 drum kit and cheap audio system) and Adam is an extremely talented drummer who knows exactly what he is doing and how to improve all your weaknesses when it comes to drumming. Couldn't recommend a better place to learn and improve your drumming skills!! More...

I have played drums since I was a teenager but have never been taught properly. Adam has taught me how to read drum music, and many basic principles I should know but don't! He is also very encouraging in his style, and practical with lessons and topics to practice to help me achieve my goals. Having 2 kits in the studio also helps as we can play together and I can attempt to copy Adam which is helping me learn. Totally recommend Adam and the School of Drumming More...
