suffolk drum teacher

Craig is a formidable drummer and a fantastic teacher. Enthusiasm and energy permeate his teaching approach and help to create a fun and relaxed learning environment. He is excellent at identifying an individual learner's needs and adapting his instruction to suit them. He draws on a wide variety of styles of popular music (rock, funk, soul, reggae, jazz) to illustrate how different techniques can be applied in the real drumming world rather than just delivering a series of exercises. Both my 8 year old son and myself - a lapsed drummer of 25 years ago- benefit from his wide drumming knowledge gained through years working as a successful professional drummer. Highly recommended.

Can't recommend Craig enough. He has been great at teaching my son the drums very patient, knowledgeable and encouraging to someone new at starting out to learn. Freddie enjoys his lessons and has gained the courage and talent to start taking his grading exams.

Our son has really grown confidence under Craig's tuition. The drum lesson's are relaxed yet challenging. Very quickly our son achieved his Debut grade and is now working towards grade one. Craig has been really helpful in advising us with the kit we need and ensuring our son has the right setup at home so he can practice effectively.

Very pleasant, positive and patient teacher who knows his onions. Fortunately he knows his drums as well as he demonstrates what you should/shouldn't be doing. I've never been so bad at something and enjoyed it so much. The 'bad' bit is my fault for not giving enough time to practice. The enjoyment is down to Craig. The setup in the garage is perfect and I find it fascinating. Why didn't anyone tell me it was so interesting. Thanks Craig for being so patient.

Craig's experience as a professional touring and recording drummer combined with the patience required To teach with schools gives him the ability to teach a wide range of people. In a relatively short time I've gone from zero to preparing for grade 8. Highly recommended.
