Drum Lessons from a teacher with 17 years teaching experience
One to one lessons should always be about you, the student. Everything that gets covered in your lessons will reflect your goals, dreams and ambitions - not mine! Whether you want to work towards grade exams, jamming in a band with friends, performing on stage or just playing for fun, I’m here to get you there.
Being a great educator is about helping the student develop the tools to teach themselves - no matter what age or ability. I will teach you the skills, based on my knowledge and experience, so you are able to learn all your favourite songs quickly and effectively. While my approach is goal oriented, there is a strong emphasis on making sure each lesson is fun, exciting and engaging. That’s the point of music in the first place!
I appreciate that my approach is not traditional and isn’t for everybody.

About Me
Hi, I’m Chris! I am a drum teacher, entrepreneur and professional musician. Teaching music has been my main passion since I started my first classes in 2005. I have been building and running music schools since 2012 which I absolutely love, but I have always maintained a small group of private students, many of which have been with me for over 10 years. Recently a few of my long term students have gone off to university so I have a few slots available for passionate students who want to grow and develop real skills and proficiency. Whilst the drums are my main instrument I also teach guitar, bass, ukulele, piano and music production to an intermediate level.Alongside my teaching I am also an active musician, having clocked over thousand gigs, built a social media following of 50k followers and released music with multiple bands. I have always believed that the best teachers are the ones who are out there doing it, sharing their passion and building an audience doing what they love. Isn't that the dream?

Online drum lessons - Cuban, Brazilian, Rock, Pop, Funk, Jazz...Do you want to learn some cuban grooves? or maybe latin jazz?
Apart from teaching the most amazing latin rhythms, In my lessons I apply the stick control book, to achieve a good technique, and at the same time I teach coordination and grooves, with the best methods and books from the most qualified drummers.
I'm a professional drummer from Spain, but living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I have studied Latin drums at Codarts, university of the arts, in Rotterdam, so I've acquired a lot of knowledge and skills on Cuban and Brazilian music, jazz, funk and Pop.
I've performed in places such as:
North Sea Jazz Festival, Het Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht), Jazzcafe Dizzy, 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.
Contact me for more info on prices and formulas ...
See you soon,

Eva
Japanese Taiko Drumming (Online and Real Life Lessons)Taiko Drumming is both a traditional instrument and an innovative medium for making contemporary music.
I am Eva, a professional Taiko Drummer, and I have playing the Taiko drums for 30 years.
Lessons will be taught online on weekdays and on-site in central Tokyo on weekends, in groups. Private lessons can be arranged upon request.
Here is my profile:
Born in Tokyo, Japan, Eva was raised by a family of scholars and artists with mixed German and Japanese heritage. From a young age, she learned how to play piano after her father introduced her to classical music, while she simultaneously learned Taiko after her mother introduced her to the Japanese arts. After graduating from the International School of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, Japan, she attended Cornell University in New York, USA, where she earned a B.A. in Philosophy. While attending Cornell, she joined the Cornell University Percussion Ensemble. The following year, she co-founded the Taiko drumming student organization called Cornell Taiko (YAMATAI) and she was the lead drummer and Musical Director. After graduating from Cornell at the young age of 22, she returned to Japan and started performing professionally. She started her solo career a year later.
Eva is also trained in Japanese folk dance (with a focus on male styles) and has a passion for street dance and locking. She joined an Awa dance team affiliated with the prestigious Koenji Awa Dance Association and made her way to become one of the top female dancers in Japan.
Today, she brings Japanese taiko drumming and song to a brand new context of pop music and also performs with many distinguished artists, musicians, dancers, and Taiko drummers across multiple genres. Eva does not only perform using taiko, she also uses a number of other instruments that have a distinct flavor of the Japanese environment including Koto (Japanese Harp), Voice, and Piano. Eva also works in the field of education and teaches taiko drumming workshops to both children and adults and is also involved in humanitarian efforts such as raising awareness for the disabled.
Her music, dynamic performances, and selfless spirit continue to inspire not only her many fans but all who witness her performances all over the world.
In 2023, her original music was published by Harper Collins Publisher and she was also the cover image of their music textbook. In 2024, her original music was utilized by Cambridge International Curriculum, used in over 160 countries and 10,000 schools, which sets a global standard for education, and is recognized by universities and employers worldwide.
