Student Reviews
“Sam has been my son’s drum tutor for the past 6 years and been instrumental in his evolution as both a drummer and all round musician. With Sam’s expert, calm and thoughtful tuition, my son has developed from a novice into a successful, confident drummer and now playing in several bands. More recently, Sam has provided outstanding support in preparing my son for university auditions across specific fundamental skills, notation and performance. Sam is an exceptional drum tutor and I would recommend him wholeheartedly.”
— Alex C“Sam has been my drum teacher for seven years now. Over the years as I've advanced I asked Sam to teach me some Jazz and not only did he oblige but also showed me great patience when I found the techniques hard to get right. As well as being an incredible teacher, Sam has an in-depth knowledge on the history and evolution of drums, something that I find really interesting and Sam answers my questions with enthusiasm and insight. I would highly, highly recommend Sam to any keen drummer, beginner or advanced. Thank you Sam”

“Sam has been my drum teacher for seven years and he’s taught me from a beginner until now, at my best as a drummer. He is a great drum tutor and has great experience with all ages. He is kind and funny but also just an overall brilliant drummer. Would 100% recommend Sam for beginning drums or lessons at a higher standard of ability.
— Joe C“Sam has been absolutely excellent with my son’s drum lessons. He is patient, encouraging and has a brilliant way of making the lessons enjoyable while still helping him to stay focused and make real progress. My son has grown in confidence with his timing, rhythm and technique, and he always feels motivated after each lesson. Sam is calm, positive and genuinely invested in helping him improve. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic drum teacher.”
— Shadeia R“My adult son has been learning drums from Sam. My son’s communication skills are somewhat limited, therefore working with him required Sam to understand his student quickly and form a bond with them. Sam has been a very understanding, patient, and welcoming teacher to my son. Sam is always on time and gives his hundred percent to the student during the lessons. Thanks to Sam my son looks forward to his weekly lessons. I would highly recommend Sam.”
— Manish K“I’ve been drumming for about 3 years now. Sam has taught me rudiments like flams, paradiddles etc. He has also taught me how to read music and how to use grooves to put into songs. He’s an amazing teacher so I would definitely recommend him!”
— Cohen B“I would like to say what a brilliant teacher Sam is, as he’s taught my son Finlay for a couple of years. Sam is very patient and knowledgeable in regards to his teaching of the drums. I would highly recommend Sam to any aspiring drummers!”
— Gavin R“I’d never picked up a set of drum sticks before, and within 2 hours I had played multiple basic grooves to songs, learned some fills, how to count to music, and some stick technique. The lessons are really motivating. I would highly recommend Sam!”
— Joe B“Sam is extremely patient, encouraging and incredibly skilled. I’ve seen great improvement in my drumming!”
— Alana L“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with this tutor. From the very first lesson, he wanted to know exactly where my son was up to with his drumming before he started teaching, and he perfectly aimed the lesson at that level. He is incredibly calm, patient, and enthusiastic, with a deep knowledge of the drums. He went completely at my son’s pace and was encouraging throughout. On top of being a great teacher, he is so lovely and easy to talk to, which completely put my son at ease. We couldn’t ask for a better instructor!”
