Soundwave Music Tuition

I am so excited to share that I will be attending Virgil Donati's drum camp in June. This will be such a unique experience with the beautiful location set in the hills of Tuscany, Italy.

I'm looking forward to challenging myself and sharing what I learn with my students once I return.😄🥁🌞👊

A little Drum exercise I wrote for my students a few years ago. This is a great exercise to improve your counting and working with odd time signatures.

It starts in 9/8 and decends through the odd time signatures returning back to 9/8.

If anyone is looking for drum lessons at the moment I do currently have a few spaces available so just give me a shout. 🥁 👍

Mucking about on the kit at a high tempo, incorporating various different stick tricks like backsticking and stick twirls. 🥁

Looking forward to a full day of drum lessons today. I think having fun is going to be the main theme of the day. 😃 🥁

The Helicopter Beat! 🥁 🚁

I remember seeing Virgil Donati do this in 2003 and thought to myself I have to learn how to do that! This is my own interpretation of the beat.

A Drum Solo I have written in 5/8 Time Signature demonstrating various different drum methods! 🥁

Single Pedal Cheat Code Performance! 🥁

Ever wondered how to get that double-kick feel with just a single pedal? Here is a demonstration of how I use off-beat bass drum patterns to create that drive. I’ve been using this technique for over 25 years, and it completely reshaped my playing style!

Want to level up your drumming in 2026? I’m opening a few student slots in the New Year. Whether you want to master this "cheat code" or you're just starting your drumming journey, send me a message to grab a spot! 🥁

Just wrapping up for the year and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's been a fantastic year and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again at the start of next year. I will leave you with a video of the final practice session of 2025! Have a good one.
