“Tom is a brilliant teacher: he keeps lessons focussed and gives really detailed feedback and advice. He also makes lessons very fun, and knows how to get the best out of his students. He tailors his teaching to the student's particular needs and is great with our son.”

“Best drum school you could ever find. Everyone is kind, supportive and encourages students to learn at the pace right for them. Would highly recommend anyone to do a taster session even if just curious!”

Alison Allan - Google Review June 2025

“Tom is amazing, the connection he has with my 11 year old son is unreal, they work together and not just on the basics of teaching songs, but on the other stuff, like positioning, how to hold your sticks correctly and the exciting stuff, they have so much fun, I get to sit in on the lessons and the progress achieved is so clear from each lesson.
Tom is patient, kind, super cool and genuinely wants my son to learn and develop, it's not just another lesson to Tom."

If you are thinking of drum lessons for your child then I couldn't think of a better teacher!”

“I had always wanted to learn the drums but never got the chance until adulthood, when my partner bought me a taster class as a birthday present. 4 years on and I've never looked back! “

“Been learning drums off Tom for the past month or so, and it's been excellent! Really engaging way of learning, with actual songs being learnt each week rather than just standard patterns. Would highly recommend!”

“Tom and his partner run an excellent drum school. Tom is a gifted teacher and the students come on leaps and bounds and have they a great time. Highly recommend.”

Gemma Saleh - Google Review March 2024

“Tom is a fantastic teacher - great with the kids and makes the classes very fun while ensuring good continuous progress. My daughter Phoebe has taken to drumming quicker than anything else she’s tried, and that is absolutely down to Tom’s teaching style.”

Steve Willis - Google Review December 2023

“Tom has been my drum teacher for over 9 years, and has taken me from a beginner to (soon to be) grade 8 level. I've enjoyed the lessons for the whole time I've had them, and can recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone. Thanks Tom 👍”

Janick Moss - Google Review October 2023

“Amazing teacher who has really inspired our son Tom to not only learn drums but to love them! Teacher Tom uses a wide variety of techniques and exercises to keep the learning fun and interesting- would whole heartedly recommend this excellent drumming school.”

Andrew Riley - Google Review November 2023

“Tom is an excellent drum teacher! He’s been teaching my son for a number of years now and he’s preparing for his grade 7 exam. He is really supportive and informative. My son started in a group class with Tom and then moved to private 1-1 lessons with him. My son has passed his gcse music and is now ending his first year of A level music and if he has been unsure of anything, Tom has been there with advice for him.”
