Testimonial:
Jack - 'Ally is an amazing teacher and I thoroughly enjoy our lessons together. I feel like I enter a time machine when I sit behind the drum kit with him because time just vanishes. Not only has he got a highly in-depth knowledge of percussion and music, he is also very able at conveying it to me, which cannot be said for all teachers. Ally is very enthusiastic and is genuinely buzzing when I nail something; I find this very encouraging. Watching Ally demonstrate his playing on the kit also inspires me massively! Outside of lessons he is very attentive in responding to my queries, which again, really helps my progression as a musician.'

Tutoring Experience:
Ally is offering tailor made 1 on 1 tuition to suit your needs. whether that is to sit graded exams, develop technique, exercise creativity, learn how to read drum music or just sit down and have fun. That's up to you!
Tutoring Approach:
Hearing yourself play is the best way to improve so with my state of the art recording facility, Ally is offering a truly unique drumming experience where you can really hone and perfect your skills. With the use of extremely professional recording software and microphones, you will be able to record and listen back to you playing and finely tune to ensure you are playing and sounding the best you can be!
All has the use of the facility to record drums for any specific music project you have involvement in. For instance, if your band has recorded a song and you'd like to track some drums for the song. For an added price he can guide you through the recording process and record high end multitracks and ensure you're getting the best performance and results for you to take back to your band or project.
Ally also has the use of many mics, pre amps and musical instruments including Neve, Neumann and Universal Audio. He is an endorsee of Ludwig Drums and Istanbul Cymbals so the equipment to ensure the highest quality recording are available to use. If you'd like an equipment specification list he'd be happy to send that to you.

After having played for several years; I sought someone who could reinvigorate my love for the drums. Ally was the perfect person; his knowledge, skill and enthusiasm really took my playing to a new level. Cannot recommend enough, thanks Ally!
Ally is extremely patient, friendly and professional with his approach to teaching, working at a level appropriate for the student. This helped me feel really comfortable and enjoy learning, even though I had zero experience. By the end of even the first lesson I walked away feeling extremely rewarded and excited to continue with Ally.
I’ve been having lessons with Ally for the last year. I was a complete beginner. He has always been very consistent, patient and professional. Very easy to understand and get along with. I fully recommend him!
My drumming has come on so much thanks to Ally. After stepping away from the kit for a few years I thought it would take me a while to get into the swing of things but through Ally’s professional and inspiring teaching, before I knew it, I was back in the groove and feeling confident in my playing again Would recommend his teaching to anyone, what a player.
I have had several lessons with Ally now and his knowledge and approach to teaching is brilliant! I had never touched a drum kit in my life before I started lessons with him but he has been so patient and is great at simplifying things and making them approachable, and I have gone from strength to strength. I have nothing bad to say and I look forward to every lesson.
