John the Drum School

John the Drum School Tailor made one to one Drum and Percussion tuition. The lessons are tailored entirely to the individual student and his or her needs.

We have an ordered way of doing things but there is no set curriculum. That way we hope that each student gets to feel that they are being given lessons that are unique to their abilities and ambitions. We teach from beginners right through to advanced level. We will happily put students through Grades but are equally happy not to. We will teach you to read the drum notation, more as a useful way

of communication than to be ‘proper’. All lessons are one to one, except for the masterclasses and clinics. If you are wanting to learn properly rather than have gaps left by tutors who are more interested in your cash than your progress, then you have come to the right place.

Today was the day to get this man’s prize. We went for a little trip to Andertons Music Co. where he chose this very lovely British Drum Co maple beauty. Don’t stand too near Josh Newton when he rimshots! ( drummers will get this!) His tutor, Dommy was there to advise ( “buy it!” ) - and to cap it all, Josh learned that he had got a stonking 93% for his Grade 7 exam on Sunday!
Quite a good day, all in all. . .

Today was this man’s last day here at JTDS. Harry has been a fantastic team member and we wish him well for the future both with his band Slaughter Theory, ( who play light jazz! 🥸) and with the impending move to Norfolk. Thanks Harry! You’ve been a credit to us and your students!
