What My Students Say

Hear it directly from some of my previous and current students, from complete beginners to qualified musicians.

Student Reviews

When it comes to learning the drums, most people face the same obstacles and feel the same sense of achievement as they develop their skills. This is what my students have said about their experience.

“Charlie really takes notice of my playing and breaks things down into manageable chunks if I get stuck. He’s really good at getting you to notice things for yourself too – either what needs practise or how much progress you’ve made. He’s easygoing but on it too and always lets me have input on which styles I learn. I heartily recommend him.”

Shelly, 53

“Charlie prepared specific exercises based on one of my favourite songs and by the end of our first lesson I was playing along to it! As a beginner I was so surprised at the speed we progressed. I’d definitely recommend him if you want to get into drumming but don’t know where to start.”

Olly, 31

“I’d almost given up drums after playing for years when I was younger but Charlie’s patient tuition was just the refresher I needed. Now I’m in multiple bands and feel really confident about my playing ability.”

David, 73

“I’ve been playing drums for a while and I wanted to rebuild my technique which took a hit from a stroke a few years ago. Charlie’s ability to turn the boring fundamental stuff into fun, achievable exercises has helped me so much. He keeps things fresh but doesn’t do anything too fancy, helping me focus on my weaknesses whilst recognising my strengths. ”
