About the lesson
In my lessons the key things we will learn are:
Technique - For the first third of the lesson we will work on technique: this ranges from the first lesson in learning how to hold sticks/foot pedal technique and positioning around the kit; to rudiments and building pace and fluency.
Groove - The second third of the lesson will be focused around some exercises I will give before each class which get the whole bod moving around the kit. These will vary in different styles depending on what you'd like to work on, or what I think we should work on depending on your weaknesses. This could be Jazz, Latin, Rock, Funk, or even experimental!
Songs - The final third of the lesson will be focussed around working on a song. This is a great way to get yourself playing something new and analysing different ways iconic drummers use combinations of grooves and fills to reflect on the mood of a song and give it that extra feel!
This is a basic outline but we will work together to see what is best for you. I also love electronic music and have lots of experience with pads, drum machines and production so if you'd like to incorporate any of that into your playing just ask!

About Sam
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Music Industry) at RMIT with a key learning outcome of teaching; before this I was - and still am - drumming for Yossarian, a world touring band based in the UK and Keaper, a Melbourne shoe-gaze group. I have played over 200 live concerts and have taught drums privately for 6 years.

Perfect! Sam is patient and prompt. He responded quickly and arranging for the lesson was a breeze. He explained all the basics during the lesson, observed my techniques and provided guidance on how I can improve. I'm happy with my lesson with Sam.

Perfect! Sam is a great teacher! He is really patient and helped me feel comfortable when I was nervous, being a beginner. I felt completely at ease as he was understanding and explained things (that I didn't understand) in different ways. He was very encouraging, and I can see that from only doing a few lessons I have improved my technique and my confidence. He provides fantastic material for practising alone between classes. This has helped me to have some structure when I practise and has helped me to master different techniques. I think the best thing about learning from Sam is that he is upbeat, personable and friendly, which is hard to find in a teacher! Good value for good quality lessons!

I want to have several students in one day in a similar area if doing a live lesson, so it's not just one trip out as I unfortunately can't drive
