In these drum lessons the focus is mainly on playing technique of hands and feet and material.
If you struggle with speed or you start playing, good technique is very important. A badly learned technique is also difficult to learn later.
You get to know the drum set inside and out, the different types of sticks, the tuning of your drum kit, the choice of sheets and cymbals.
I can also help you with the purchase of new material.
The lessons take place at the student's home.

The world of percussion offers an endless array of possibilities. My teaching will depend on the student: whether they would like to specialize in certain instrument(s) or styles or become an all-round percussionist who is not afraid to dive in wherever music takes them. I think it's best for consistent development to have a plan with a goal in mind. Where do you want to be in 10 years? How to get there? What do we need to do for it each year, each month, and each week? At the beginning of each lesson, I would like to listen to what the student has prepared, and from there, we will figure out what steps are needed to make it even better.

Hello, dear friends!
Music is a unique language that helps us express our feelings and emotions. In my lessons, we will learn to “speak” this language through drumming.

Depending on your level here is what we’ll focus on:
• Learning drum rudiments — the “alphabet” of the drumming language
• Improving your technique, so your movements are confident and precise
• Developing improvisation, so you can freely create and express yourself behind the drum kit

And of course, we’ll play your favorite songs! This will make learning not only useful but also incredibly fun.

Tim
Together we start from the beginning where many drummers start from.
Motor skills, maintaining rhythm and learning to sense musical numbers.

Drumming is basically determining how fast/slow a song is played, and when the transitions come.
Learning to sense these things is the beginning of the first lessons.

We start immediately on the drum kit, and you automatically acquire the knowledge while you play.
