Online Drum Lessons
Drum lessons in Birmingham, UK.
If you’ve come to get you’re groove on you’ve come to the right place! My name is Jack, I'm 23 and have been playing drums for 14 years. I learnt how to play drums at a music school when I was 9 up on till I was 20 where I did 7 grades getting distinctions and merits. I have also played live all over Birmingham in bands and for the music school I used to go. I can teach you how to read and write music as well as playing by ear. The first lesson is free so you can decide if you’re interested.
I have learnt to play in a range of styles from heavy hitting rock to smooth jazz. As well as R&B, rap and dance music, so there's a wide range of music to learn and explore! As I said reading and writing music will also be taught if interested. I have professional books which I still use for my own practice and will provide copies to practice with at home. If there are songs in particular you'd like to learn then that's fantastic as you can then show off your favourite songs!
I am a very patient person so will go at your own pace whether you're new to drums or experienced; we all learn in different ways. The main thing is to have fun and hopefully love drums as much as I do! Drums are the back beat of any song, keeping the time and rhythm which in my opinion makes us the most important player.
So if you're ready to rock n roll drop me a message and we'll get started soon as!🤘

I am highly respected worldwide as a Performer, Clinician, Educator and Consultant.
My playing and recording credits include internationally renowned artists, Frank Gambale, Guthrie Govan, Stu Hamm, Shaun Baxter and Richard Niles.
As a drum clinician, I have performed extensively worldwide, including solo clinic tours of UK, US, China, Scandinavia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, and has also shared the stage alongside drummers such as Steve Smith, Manu Katche, Simon Phillips, Akira Jimbo, Sonny Emory, Mark Mondesir, Gary Husband, Neal Wilkinson, Richard Bailey, Erik Smith, Gary Chaffee & Steve Houghton.

As well as being a professional performing drummer, I teach the drum kit at Hemel Hempstead school as well as two other schools through Enfield Music Services. I also cover drum tuition at Dwight International School. Over the years I have taught at numerous other schools, such as the New London Performing Arts Centre in Muswell Hill, North London. Many of my students have taken grades for drum kit, usually resulting in either a Merit or a Distinction. The accredited systems I am most familiar with are Rockschool and Trinity Guildhall. I possess a current DBS Disclosure as well as a Child Protection Certificate.
I have also taught privately one-to-one over the past fifteen years, focusing mostly on:
-Ear training; opening students’ minds to different musical and rhythmic styles, thus increasing their musicality and appreciation of all musical genres.
-Fundamental rudiments and exercises (for drums and percussion) to improve technique and allow more freedom of musical expression.
-Rhythmic notation and charts for the students who might see music as a possible future profession. There is the option to take drum kit graded exams.
-Learning to enjoy playing and making music, because music is an incredible source of inspiration and joy.
I have been drumming since the age of 9, and since picking up the sticks I have played a number of shows, events, live gigs, pub nights and so on. This has helped me develop my confidence skills on stage as well as improve my musical skills.
Venues/ events I have performed at include The M Festival in St Albans. I have played this event 5 times with the biggest audience being over 3000 people. This is a great event as they put all kinds of upcoming bands on their line up to really let people show off their great music.
Other venues include the Alban Arena in St Albans, and The Horn pub in St Albans.
The Horn have hosted some very memorable nights, with bands such as Bastille playing headline shows in the past. Other bands such as Vant have played The Horn, with my band, Echo Infirmary, being the support act.

BIO With a passion for hard-hitting beats and a career spanning almost two decades, I'm Jamie, a professional drummer based in Kent with my own studio. While my speciality lies in rock and metal music, I have expanded my repertoire over the course of my career to include a diverse range of genres such as jazz, funk, hip-hop and pop. Alongside my freelance work as a musician, I’ve been teaching drumming for over five years, both privately and at music schools.
I genuinely love teaching and thoroughly enjoy working with students across various genres and styles. My approach is always student-centered, prioritising their interests and goals. Whether it's mastering a specific song, honing timing and hand technique, improving footwork, or developing overall musicality, I tailor my lessons to meet individual needs. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, and have had the privilege of studying under esteemed drummer Dave Elitch.
I have a range of experience working in professional studios with various bands:
My first ever professional release was with heavy metal band Novacaine Nothing (Noughts & Crosses, 2015) recorded at FloodGate Audio; followed by a single with technical-metal band proxxy (Pathological Pursuits, 2018). In 2020 I recorded drums for rock band Night Thieves’ debut EP (Battle Cry, 2020) at Stakeout Studios. In the same year, I recorded drums for the talented duo Immortal Machinery at my own studio for their album Songs Without Words. Additionally, in 2023, I had the pleasure of recording drums for their latest album Kuzushi. I’ve had some incredible experiences touring extensively with this band across Europe. Recently, I’ve written and tracked drums for the American musician Brianne Bogle as well as English singer/songwriter Guy Prall. I’ve also played live for various hip-hop artists including Antlive, Ras Kass, and John Jigg$.
You can find plenty of my work on YouTube (my handle is JamieDrumz), Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp – all the usual places. Alongside my freelance work, I'm currently the house drummer for the popular monthly jazz and funk jam night in High Wycombe known as Catch22 Jams, run by the MLN Ensemble, who also hire me to play at the annual Wycombe Jazz Festival as well as High Wycombe’s annual FrogFEST.

EXPERIENCE I have been teaching drums privately since 2018, catering to a diverse range of students aged 6 to 70. As an Enhanced DBS Verified instructor, I prioritise the safety and well-being of my students, and I’m happy to provide references upon request. Additionally, since 2023, I have had the privilege of teaching at two respected institutions: the prestigious YMS in Canterbury and Drumwise in Maidstone.
Throughout my teaching career, I have witnessed my students achieve remarkable success in various areas. Some have excelled in graded exams, while others have pursued further education in music schools. Many students have joined bands or embarked on solo projects purely for the joy of playing music. As part of my comprehensive approach, I ensure that all beginner students develop strong foundational skills in reading music effectively.
Drawing upon my extensive experience as a professional musician, my lessons extend beyond drumming: I provide valuable insights into essential topics such as tuning, recording techniques, rehearsal strategies, and song-writing. By incorporating these aspects into my teaching, I equip my students with a well-rounded skill set that extends beyond just drumming proficiency.
My approach is practical and personalised, centred around your goals and aspirations. What do you want to learn? What are you trying to achieve? I prioritise hands-on drumming experience from the start. While theory is important, my immediate focus is on getting you playing the kit. After all, that's why you're here!

I teach to all ages, up to Grade 8 on the Drums, Grade 4 on the Guitar and on the Piano I will teach to a high standard, but not through the grading system as I only teach basic level sight reading for Piano.
I have taught many students over the years at varying ages and skill levels, and all have come out more passionate and more improved at there instrument.
My students have all mentioned how they find there lessons thoroughly productive and enjoyable, finding themselves increasingly motivated to play after having lessons with me. (see references at the bottom)
In my lessons I will take the students up through the Grades (ONLY for Drums and Guitar), via Rockschool, teaching them everything they need from technique, learning how to sight read, developing improvisation skills, playing in many different genres of music, and how to play by ear. I will also cover how to complement the music you are playing to and how to serve the music. As well as developing musicianship skills and how to have the right attitude in the music business.
- on the Piano I will teach to a high standard, going through everything listed above, as well as scales, arpeggios, inversions, learning classical and contemporary pieces, and basic level sight reading, but NOT grades unfortunately.
I hope to be teaching you soon!
Blessings,
Max

Our teaching philosophy is all about giving students a great lesson experience so they have fun, build confidence and form identity through music.
