I would recommend the Drum Academy. I started drumming at age 46 thinking that I had left it too late but have thoroughly enjoyed over 9 years of lessons covering a whole range of drumming styles. Richard teaches very flexibly and will help with whatever you want to do whether it is exam based or, like me, just for fun and the challenge of learning something new. More...

I recommend the Drum Academy to anyone who is interested in learning to play the drums. I have been having drum lessons at the Drum Academy for nearly 11 years and have loved every lesson from the first day. I use the lessons to practice my techniques and expand my styles to improve my playing. The teachers are very friendly and helpful and it's great having one on one lessons. Thank you Drum Academy More...

What do you love most about your job?
Meeting people and doing my best to help them achieve great things. I never tire of this and playing drums is so good for general well being and overall health.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Necessity originally. The teaching school was originally situated above a drum store in Leicester in the 1980's. The shop closed in 1992 and left us with the lease on a shop we didn't really need. The race was on to find somewhere in the city centre that would serve well as a dedicated drum academy...not easy at the time. A bit of good fortune and serendipity later saw us taking up residence in the new International Arts Centre in Garden Street, an excellent location for our school and we've been very happy there ever since.
