Private drum lessons for all levels, young and old

From 96 C$ /h

Looking for an experienced private drum teacher? I teach drums one-on-one in Leiden on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I strive to keep my lessons as effective and enjoyable as possible. During the lessons we focus on different rhythms, fills, drum techniques, music notation and how to practice and be creative. Of course we also play songs and you are welcome to suggest songs you'd like to learn yourself. Once you've mastered a song we'll make an audio recording for yourself to reflect on and to share with others.

About Me

Throughout the years that I've been giving drum lessons I have developed my own method. Teaching is building bridges between the known and the unknown. Small steps in a logical order. I'm fascinated by how the brain works and how learning happens at its best. This by itself can be a great boost in seeing one's own potential and also a great motivation to practice like crazy!
Yet I'm a relaxed and very patient teacher, striving to make your lessons a thing to look forward to every time.

I give drum lessons to beginning drummers (m / f). You can come to me from 6 years. I give individual lessons so that you can learn at your own pace. You will only become a good drummer once you have mastered the basic technique. That is why technique exercises are discussed a lot, which we apply when playing real songs that you like.

Hello everyone! This is Eren. I am 25 years old. I am a Turkish drummer/producer, graduated from the Utrecht Conservatorium Jazz&Pop Drums department. I am actively playing in 3 bands, and have good experience for my age. I really would like to share my knowledge and experience with you! I will use the stuff that my teachers gave me in the conservatory, and my own techniques in the lessons. Any level is welcome! I can also help with music theory, ear training, solfege and music production in Ableton(basics of ableton, MIDI, audio recordings, mixing&mastering). We will play, learn, talk, have fun, even sometimes get bored but at the end I will make you a good drummer!

Do you want to learn some cuban grooves? or maybe latin jazz?

Apart from teaching the most amazing latin rhythms, In my lessons I apply the stick control book, to achieve a good technique, and at the same time I teach coordination and grooves, with the best methods and books from the most qualified drummers.

I'm a professional drummer from Spain, but living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I have studied Latin drums at Codarts, university of the arts, in Rotterdam, so I've acquired a lot of knowledge and skills on Cuban and Brazilian music, jazz, funk and Pop.

I've performed in places such as:
North Sea Jazz Festival, Het Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht), Jazzcafe Dizzy, etc...

Do you want to play in a band, play for fun at home with friends, or become a proffecional drummer?
Come for a lesson in my studio and see what you'd like to learn. If you like a certain style, we will focus on it and develop your playing towards your taste. I've been playing, teaching and studying drums for over 15 years now. I take it very seriously and try to tailor my teaching to every student that I have. I can use my experience as a proffecional musician to make you progress fast and focus on things not every teacher knows from books. In this course we will focus on technique as well as creativity and improvisation (one of the most enjoyable aspects of playing drums).
Do you have any other percussion instrument you'd like to expand your knowledge on? I can offer you percussion lessons as well since I have a lot of experience in playing percussion as well.
If you want to study with me I can provide a stable program for development for fast results including scores, exercises, etc.
About me:
As well as teaching, I'm mainly a performer of music - I've been playing drums with different bands as well as classical percussion for more than 15 years now in many different settings. In the last years of my development I've taken a closer look to jazz, pop, hip hop and rock music. I can use my experience to find good qualities in my students and develop them as much as possible.
I hope you consider me to be your teacher :)

Hello,

my music lessons will always be customized depending on the goals of the student, always maintaining a basic technical standard in the instrument. The implementation of music theory is key to creating a mutual language so it will be included as part of the program

Hi there! I'm Guillermo, Spanish Drummer based in The Hague and a teacher of drums and cajón for all ages and levels.
I like to put a strong focus on helping my students to become the musicians they want to be, whether that means playing along to their favourite songs at home, going on tour around the world or recording music in studios! In order to achieve this I like to make sure the lessons have a good balance between fun personal musical challenges and the various techniques (and bits of theory if needed) that will help you enjoy the most your time behind the drums (or siting on yout cajón!)

Learn to play the drums and/or percussion with solid technique, rhythm, and creativity. Whether you’re starting from zero or want to refine your groove, I’ll guide you step by step with exercises, songs, and personalized coaching. For me, it’s essential to understand what each student wants from the lessons. Whether your goal is to play just for fun or to develop professionally, I’ll adapt the lessons to your needs, helping you level up your skills while keeping the process enjoyable and creative. With experience as a classical percussionist in orchestras, a drummer in bands, and through my jazz vibraphone studies, I’m able to cover a wide range of styles and adapt the lessons to each student’s musical taste and interests.

In class we will work mostly around what the student is looking for, weather that’s just being able to jam along to their favorite tunes or to get good enough to make a living out of drumming. We can work on a variety of different genres from jazz to pop to latin, which ever the student is keen on learning about. I will always look to keep the lessons balanced between music and methodical exercises. Main goal is for everyone to have a good time and leave the classes with a smile on their face :)

My name is Saverio, I'm a drum teacher and a freelance musician with many experiences across pop, blues, rock, latin and jazz music. I obtained a Diploma in Saint louis College of Music (Rome) and a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Drumming in italian conservatory "Morlacchi" (Perugia).

After 15+ years as a drum teacher in several schools in central Italy, with lots of students of all ages and all levels, I'm recently based in The Hague and ready for new connections with drummers!

In our lessons we will build a solid technical foundation, improving timing and coordination, reading (from basic exercises to drum charts), learning a vocabulary developed on your own musical style! Pop? Blues? Rock? Funk? Latin? Jazz? Your choice! I want each lesson to be clear and enjoyable: students must be motivated and comfortable!
