I am also a private drum tutor, teaching youngsters of various ages and abilities, and love working with each student and helping them along their musical journey, whether through individual plans or working alongside Trinity Grades.
I have recently graduated from the BMus Degree in Popular Music Performance at the ICMP (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) with First Class Honours. I have achieved Trinity Guildhall Grade 8 Drums (with distinction), LCM Grade 6 Piano (with distinction), and the Bronze/Dean's Chorister's Award with the Royal School of Church Music.
I use a Gretsch Renown Kit with Remo Pinstripe Heads, Zildjian and Bosphorus Cymbals, and Pearl Hardware.
