Together we study the basic techniques, rhythms, iconic grooves and fills, creative ways of soloing and improvising and, above all, promoting your musicality.

Classical music, Rock, Hip-hop, Latin, jazz... everything you want is possible.

Actuellement, je suis en Master de batterie Jazz au conservatoire d'Anvers et, tout comme vous, j'adore apprendre de nouvelles choses et me lancer des défis. Que ce soit la musique classique, le rock, le hip-hop, les musiques latines or le jazz... nous pouvons aborder tout cela, si vous le souhaitez.
Les cours peuvent se dérouler à Bruxelles (du lundi au vendredi), chez moi à Alost (du vendredi au dimanche) ou en ligne (quand vous voulez).

About Me

I like to think of myself as a passionate, compassionate, enthusiastic, friendly person.
I've always been really more interested in others then in myself, which sounds pretty negative but don't think so. I'm so intrigued by all the different ways of thinking and coming up with ideas by each different person, i find it very inspiring to look into other directions myself.
You could say i'm depending on others as i only experience happiness when i notice my student/(business)partner/friend.. is happy. Again, sounds negative but you could also look at it as me always trying my best to satisfy the other, even if it costs me an arm and a leg.

Education

Highschool diploma classical music Percussion at Lemmens Institute Leuven.
Finished Bachelors Jazz Drums at Conservatory of Antwerp.
Started Masters Jazz Drums at Conservatory of Antwerp.

Experience / Qualifications

I've been playing concerts since my 13th so i really have seen quite a lot of situations a musician could find him-/herself in.
I've been teaching privately for 4 years and started my third year as a teacher at a recognised academy.

Reviews (4)

I play bass guitar myself and have no experience with drumming but want to learn it to make the playing together with a drummer sound better. Rik follows me in my idea and teaches me the basics of drumming. Excellent teacher, patient, also available after the lesson if you have questions. Tof!

Drums lessons in FR-IT-EN with an experienced and qualified teacher
Je donne cours en français - Description disponible en Français Do lezione in Italiano - Descrizione disponibile in Italiano ......................................................................................................................................................... The course method, inspired by the Agostini school (French method used in French and Belgian academies and conservatories) is divided between technique and drums. At the rate of one session each we will focus once on technique and movements outside the drums (on pads) and the other time on the drums and the application of technique and movements. -> The technique lessons and the movements will be those of the so-called 'Moeller technique' that I learned through his direct lineage of student. -> The drum lessons are greatly inspired by the pedagogy of the M.A.I. (Music Academy International - Nancy (fr)) and in particular that of Richard-Paul Morellini, renowned instructor. The courses are complete, in-depth but above all specifically thought of to be progressive. They are suitable for children from 7 years old as well as adults of all ages. => Particular attention is paid to the movements and their correct application, to the total independence of the limbs and finally to an understanding of the rhythm and its theory. My main goal is to give the student complete control behind the drums and skills to be able to self-learn any piece in any musical style. 1 hour of weekly lessons are never enough, they should only be used to fuel the passion that will make you play at home more and more. On demand or for advancs students: - I am very passionate about the study of South American rhythms. Due to their complexity, apart from the samba and Baïon ostinatos, they are not included in the program before the advanced level. They can be at the request of the student. - I am also specialized in metal (musical style) and double pedal. The latter is not included in the program unless requested by the student. The double pedal courses are based on the methodology of Virgil Donati. Technique: * Moeller technique (the 'whipping motion' - the Free stroke -Full/Half/Low stroke - accepting the rebound - its application etc.) * Snare rudiments and their applications through reading systems * Readings of scores and exercises for the snare drum * Speed drills * Military marches * Control of the different subdivisions (quarter notes - eighth notes - triplets - sixteenth notes - quintuplets - sextuplets - triple eighth notes - nonolets etc.) * Displacement of accents and polyrhythms * On request, double pedal technique (application of the Moeller to the double pedal as well as everything listed above but with the feet) Drums: * Bass drum reading and independance * Snare drum reading and independance * Applications of ghost notes * The 16 sixteenth-notes ostinatos * Jazz readings and independence * Binary and ternary readings * Coordination and movements of both feet * Dynamics on the instrument * Creation of fills and original drum grooves * On request, application of the double pedal * On request or for advanced students, readings and independence of South American rhythms (study and independence of the clave/Cascara/Mozambique etc.)

Music lessons: drums, percussion, rhythmic music theory...
Hello, I offer drums lessons in a warm place or at your home. Come and discover the battery differently. My mission is to help you develop your own identity on the instrument. I offer you a fun approach that focuses on the pleasure of playing. Having followed training and courses throughout my life (conservatory, schools ...), I am passionate and dedicated to sharing all of my experience with you. I practice in many music groups and other structures (schools, associations ...). With more than 20 years of experience in drums and more than 10 years in percussion, I teach many musical genres (jazz through Latin music, pop, hip hop, rock, hard, punk, metal ..) , the double pedal, notions of music theory, rhythmic reading. Possibility of taking percussion lessons (darbuka, bongos, African djembe, congas, jaw harp, dhol). The programs are directly inspired by internationally recognized methods, thus being able to adapt to the needs, levels and requirements of each individual. I travel but I also receive in a room with equipment available (any age and level of practice are allowed, from initialization to professionals). A different approach to music lessons: My teaching is resolutely modern. Classes are a moment of musical and human sharing where error is used as a positive experience to move forward. We work by oral transmission to complete the scores. We use onomatopoeia to quickly develop musical and felt play, rather than just reading and playing. So ... Tempted? No excuse, I give you couses from Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 11 pm. FROM child (from 5 years old) to senior, and from beginner to professional. Registration possible all year round.
