About Tom
I have played in many bands throughout the years and have gigged countless gigs throughout the UK and Europe.
Being able to teach what I know and love to my students is just amazing.
Many of my students have been private but I have also taught in schools and now online. Some of them have gone on to pass graded examinations, pass auditions to join bands, be included in school music performances etc.
Some examples of my teaching history are as follows:
- Private drum kit and percussion tuition.
- Drum teacher for ‘Open 2 Music’ (primary school tuition).
- Tutor for ‘LCCM Beginner’s Drum Course’.
- Tutor at LCCM Drumline.
- Assistant tutor at 'Morley College Jazz Summer School' with Pianist, composer Roland Perrin.

Teaching is something that I love. Influencing and inspiring my students to play and enjoy music gives me great pride.
With expertise in many different styles including Rock, Metal, Pop, New Orleans, Latin, Small-Band Jazz, Big Band Jazz, Classical, (and many more) I can feed my students' minds with knowledge they desire.
The aspirations of each student can vary greatly. They may want to learn their favourite songs, progress through the graded examination systems, to learn how to read play percussion, play in a marching band etc.
As a result of these variations, the topic of study changes from student to student.
However, I do employ a few aspects of drumming to teach to every student.
These include:
- Stretching exercises
- Metronome practise
- Ear training
- Technique
- Reading (at least a basic understanding) & counting
- Rudiments
All of these are essentials in becoming a good drummer and when tied together, allow you to learn and play anything you want.
Practise is key
Persistence is key
But overall, having fun is the most important!

If you're looking to improve your drumming, whatever level you may currently be, then look no further--Tom is your man! I've had the privilege of taking drum lessons with Tom for over 4 years now and every lesson is as exciting and engaging as when he first helped me pick up a pair of sticks. The breadth of his expertise seems to have no limits-- he has taught me songs from a great variety of genres along with more technical aspects and that have helped progress my playing immeasurably. He has also helped me a great deal with music theory which I had previously struggled with before Tom's lessons but he's since helped me make it feel like a breeze! Always accommodating, he thoughtfully caters his lessons to my desired directions whilst still finding creative ways to challenge my playing along the way. He's patient, knowledgable, communicative, enthusiastic, and above all an incredible musician and mentor. Not to mention he's got a great sense of humour and puts you at ease from minute 1. Top tutor and top man!
Thomas has been a fantastic teacher for my 7 year old. I didn’t expect remote lessons to work so well! He is always professional and friendly! We are all very happy with him as our son seems to be enjoying drumming away!
Lessons online with Tom are fantastic. His knowledge of both music and the drums is second to none and he delivers his tuition in a very understandable way. Thoroughly enjoyable lessons, I highly recommend him.
