"An utterly brilliant experience!"

"Eighteen months ago I'd never picked up a drumstick and had no idea what a 'ride' or a 'groove' were. Last week, I played drums with my band in our first ever performance at a charity gig in front of 130 people. It was an utterly brilliant experience!

As well as being seriously "rock and roll"(!), playing drums is hugely therapeutic. I have a great teacher and I'd thoroughly recommend anyone considering playing drums to book a lesson with Elephant Drums. A word of warning though, you'll get hooked.......!!!"

"Now I'm a drums addict..."

"I love my drum lessons, they are fun and informative. My teacher is friendly, easy to follow and very well prepared...

In just the first couple of months, I already feel like we have built a solid foundation for me to work with and develop good habits...

I only thought I would give it a go with a taster lesson on the drums and probably wouldn't be any good at it, but now it looks like I am addicted... Well, there are worse things to be addicted to! I'll happily be a drums addict."

"Excellent 5 stars"

"My tutor is highly skilled as both a drummer and an instructor. I couldn't help but realise after my very first lesson that he's passionate about what he does and keen to pass on the knowledge."

Andrew Waterloo on 18 August 2013

"Rapid Results"

"I went to my first drum lesson convinced that I would have no rhythm, but I wanted to give it a go anyway. I was really impressed with myself that I was able to get into drumming so quickly (thanks to great communication and patience from my teacher!). I learned the basics of a groove and getting coordinated to play the drum kit within the first lesson. Thanks!"

Alex Camden on 25 January 2014

"I improved so much!"

"I enjoyed the classes a lot, but I didn't expect I was going to improve so much!! I mean, I wanted to refine my technique but I didn't know how important it is, and how important a good teacher is.

Now, after four months practicing my hand technique has improved so much...

I contacted several drum teachers, but I chose Elephant Drums because of your email answer. It seemed very serious and professional and you gave me the answer I was wondering. Now I know I did the right choice."

Raul on 24 April 2015

"Drumming's hit the next level"

"I took a short course of lessons to help me prepare for a special gig. This got me working on all kinds of new techniques that really increased my skills and gave me the confidence to give a great performance at the gig. I hope to go back for more lessons soon, to take my playing to the next level!"

Jonathan on 3 August 2015

"Drum lessons at Elephant Drums"

"In the space of just 12 months I have made huge improvements in all aspects of my playing. The way I think about the drum kit has changed completely!

I had already been playing drums self-taught for about a year by looking at videos on Youtube and trying to follow some online courses. But it was only when I started taking drum lessons with you guys that I realised how radically important it is to find a good teacher...!

I now know how to be aware of a lot more things when playing. My technique, coordination, timing, and musicality are 100% because of my lessons. Thanks so much for showing me the path!"

Adrian Fulham on 12 March 2016

"Absolutely recommend"

"My son has been a student with the Elephant Drums collective for the last 2 and a half years. Right from the very first lesson I was hugely impressed with his tutor's patience and creativity. My son has not lost his enthusiasm since that first lesson. He always looks forward to his drum lessons and is now playing confidently in a band with friends from school. He loves that the lessons apply all the essential technical exercises and hard work expected of him, to the music he loves to listen to. We both have no hesitations in recommending you to others."

Johanne B on 30 September 2016

"Flexible and super fun lessons taught by an awesome drummer"

"I started out as a total beginner and feel very lucky that I found Elephant Drums. I've been making steady progress and absolutely loving it. The lessons fit very nicely around my schedule as a freelance graphic designer; it helps so much to be able to do lessons in the morning or afternoon, or even late at night on the odd occasion. I really appreciate the flexibility and I'm glad Elephant Drums is not set up exactly like a "school". The personal approach is really great."

Chris Lewisham on 6 May 2017

"Yes I would recommend :)"

"Hey guys, a quick note to say I have been having an amazing time enjoying my lessons. I can only highly recommend Elephant Drums to any beginner who wants to learn to play Drums!"

Sonia Southwark on 10 December 2017

"Thank you"

"We really want to thank you for inspiring Rob to learn the drums and to keep learning over the last few years. He seems to be genuinely enjoying his course and is achieving positive results. He is also enjoying the chance to have extra tutorials from visiting musicians.

For someone who has been so focused on computers it has been a huge relief for me to know that Rob has another interest that he can be passionate about and I really have to credit you for making this possible."
