Hello there, you lovely people! I am Harley, an experienced drummer with 10 years of drumming behind me. My professional career includes recording, playing live and touring with 5 bands as of now. Having played to venues like the O2 Academy Islington and other stages across the world, I'm no stranger to the main stage. Alongside this, I'm a passionate teacher with a unique and successful approach. Whether you're an intermediate player or a beginner who hasn't even picked up the sticks, I will always have something to teach you and a friendly approach to go hand in hand.
My sound and approach to rhythm is something often praised, currently playing for 5 bands in the genres of rock, punk, funk, pop and more, always with creative and suited approaches. My current ventures with Tactful Kactus, George Gaudy, The Visitors, Bridie and Indigo Joe have seen me playing in the studio and on the stage, even to the like's of audiences in Athens with my most recent Greek tour.
With my home studio setup came the introduction of my weekly covers series. Along with this, I now record for many artists at my home facility providing a professional and timbre catered sound for whatever material comes my way. My home facility is also used for teaching when not travelling out to students.

Lessons with the Drummist - learn how to approach the drum kit from zero (or not) and how to self-improve through rhythmDo you want to make people dance when you play? Is there that crazy drum part you just can't get right? Do you wish to manage the dynamics, the space, the sound of a song? Do you need help to prepare exams? ..(....)
Well, there's no one way to do things, and everybody has strengths and weaknesses. So, I propose we see together what is it that doesn’t come out just like you’d want it, and let’s find the right solution for you!
My priority as a teacher is to nurture my student’s passion for music. It is essential that playing the drums remains, above all, a fun and stimulating experience, and that studying is a consequence of this passion. Therefore I am devoted to fostering one's desire to improve, and I do provide all the tools necessary to overcome the challenges that you may face along the way.
My study program is holistic and is always tailored to your needs, your inclinations and your objectives.
All ages, all levels and all music tastes are welcome!
Some of the topics I like to cover:
- ergonomics, balance, grip
- brute technique and the rudiments
- hands and feet coordination
- the styles; style-chorent fills and variations
- the groove, the timing and the slowness
- reading and memory, the mental map
- copy the greats, listen to the records
- finding the sound
- playing with others and musicianship
Josaphat
Beginner amateur drummers. I give exceptional drum lessons: in-depth work on the rudiments and expression: What to do?Africa is the center of the rhythms of the 6/8 register. Benin's musical identity comes from the many sources of our cultures and general traditions. This course is initiated in order to allow drummers to discover and access all the rhythmic potential for their performance through the learning and practice of Benin Polyrythmie.
You will learn among others:
- the basics of 6/8.
- basic rhythms.
- the different combinations on the battery.
- Grooves and improvisation trials.
- How to discover the key of 6/8 without needing to be Africans or Beninese.

Beatbox - I teach you how to create rhythms and sounds, using only your voice and mouth as instruments!Beatboxing is a relatively unknown discipline, even though it allows for an absolutely incredible musical variety: percussion, whistles, bass, special sounds straight out of an alien movie... our body is an instrument in itself, and learning beatbox is accessible to everyone!
(Take a look at some beatboxer videos online, you'll be amazed!)
I'll take you step by step, starting with easy and useful sounds, gradually moving towards impressive, fun sounds, or those of your choice.
In addition, I practice with you and complete your knowledge of music theory and particularly rhythm when necessary.
Don't hesitate to contact me to find out more about me, my methods, or beatboxing, see you soon! ;)

Music lessons: drums, percussion, rhythmic music theory...Hello,
I offer drums lessons in a warm place or at your home. Come and discover the battery differently. My mission is to help you develop your own identity on the instrument. I offer you a fun approach that focuses on the pleasure of playing.
Having followed training and courses throughout my life (conservatory, schools ...), I am passionate and dedicated to sharing all of my experience with you. I practice in many music groups and other structures (schools, associations ...).
With more than 20 years of experience in drums and more than 10 years in percussion, I teach many musical genres (jazz through Latin music, pop, hip hop, rock, hard, punk, metal ..) , the double pedal, notions of music theory, rhythmic reading. Possibility of taking percussion lessons (darbuka, bongos, African djembe, congas, jaw harp, dhol).
The programs are directly inspired by internationally recognized methods, thus being able to adapt to the needs, levels and requirements of each individual. I travel but I also receive in a room with equipment available (any age and level of practice are allowed, from initialization to professionals).
A different approach to music lessons:
My teaching is resolutely modern. Classes are a moment of musical and human sharing where error is used as a positive experience to move forward.
We work by oral transmission to complete the scores. We use onomatopoeia to quickly develop musical and felt play, rather than just reading and playing.
So ... Tempted?
No excuse, I give you couses from Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 11 pm. FROM child (from 5 years old) to senior, and from beginner to professional.
Registration possible all year round.
Contact me for more info on prices and formulas ...
See you soon,

drum lessons, percussion initiations, and rhythmI've been playing drums for 12 years,
Economic and social bachelor, then student at the IMEP, I now play in restaurants or weddings
The drums are a key instrument within a group, it is he who will allow to create a link between all.
My goal is simple, you have to take pleasure in playing, this will of course go through attendance, but also through moments of laughter, fun, exchange, communication ...
I would initiate you if you want to play percussion to test them to have fun.
I would try to teach you the styles that I know so that you can practice them, be it rock, funk, pop, soul, jazz, reggae, but also having fun with your instrument,
and why not make it your job ...
So when do we start?
I give you an appointment from Monday to Saturday
Jonathan
Battery: Classes / internships / training / face-to-face and distance coachingI offer my services (lessons, internships, training, coaching) to drummers of all levels, all musical styles and all geographic areas
The first contact consists above all in discussing the desires and the desired axes of progression.
For people wishing to opt for the classic format courses:
Different packages with sliding scale tariffs are offered.
For people wishing to go further:
Intensive training / internship with pedagogy and personalized coaching, in order to give a big boost in technique, music theory (optional), but also on other aspects of the modern musician (home studio, stage ...). This is for any motivated and available drummer, at least 17 years old, wishing / wishing to improve or even professionalize, to become intermittent (e) or teacher of drums, to integrate one or more semi-professional or professional groups, to be versatile or to excel in their favorite style (s) ...
For people wishing to learn at their own pace, without any scheduling constraints:
System of distance learning videos (which can be accompanied by scores), relating specific themes at the request of the pupil (can possibly replace lessons or be complementary to them)
For people who have not yet decided to get started on this instrument:
Discovery course over several hours or even several sessions, in order to discover the world of drums (For more details on all these formats, contact me)
In all cases, I adapt to each student on:
- the form: I am flexible and can use alternatives to music theory for those who are resistant to it (for example, by making a video of the summary of what was seen, by re-explaining orally and by re-performing the exercises on the drums))
- the background: I always adapt to the wishes of the student if he knows what he wants
The most important thing for me is to make things seemingly complicated -> simple to understand and to execute, while making sure that I direct the student in the direction he wants to take, and that he takes fun to learn
The goal is to regularly cover pieces of music in order to put the things learned in a purely musical context.
Regardless of the course chosen, I accept all means of payment, as well as CESUs. The latter is very interesting for the employer (yourself) because it will allow him to benefit either from a tax reduction, or from a tax credit if it is not taxable (50% of the amount courses in the year deducted from taxes or credited in taxes the following year)
