DrumSchool !
Are you really able to play the way that you would like to and make the music in the way that you want to? Imagine being the guitar player and musician that you want to be. This is a realistic goal and I can help you to achieve this. Students of mine have found that with the correct learning methods and content delivered in the right way, they are on the fast track to becoming the drummers they want to be. In addition they have found so many more opportunities for learning and development put forward their way because they are a student of mine. These include activities such as group jam sessions, band classes and student events designed to encourage and motivate them to become even better at what they love to do. Consequently, they stick with their instrument instead of giving up through the frustration of not moving forward and achieving their goals.
How good do you feel about your playing at the moment?
“I am able to work through the barriers that before seemed impossible.I have been playing for the best part of 8 years with slow and limited progress. I owned a library of drum technique books but still was not getting where I wanted to be with my drumming. My aspirations now seem much more realistic having AD helping me to get where I want.

Working with a teacher is the fastest, most effective and the most enjoyable way of progressing on your drum playing to be the player you want to be. Here’s why:
1. Learning To Play The Right Things At The Right Time
The problem with learning from the internet or from friends is that you may be learning the right content but are you learning the information in the correct order? Imagine learning to run before you can walk. How far would you actually get? Learning with a great drum and percussion teacher will help you to learn in the right way so that you waste no time and reach your goals much faster than with other methods.
2. See What You Are Learning Demonstrated For You In The Correct Way
Does learning from You Tube really show you how things are done? How do you know that the person sat in front of you actually knows what they are doing? In addition if you learn from a book or from an online course, how do you ask questions if you are not sure about something? With a great drum teacher you can be sure that if you have a problem you can get it resolved so that you can focus on enjoying your progress rather than chasing your tail wondering what you should be doing.
3. Get Motivated!
One of the biggest advantages of taking lessons from a great teacher is that each week you will be encouraged and inspired to pick up your darbuka or bendir and play. Knowing that you have someone to support your development and learning is the greatest asset to taking drum lessons. The expert feedback coupled with personalised support and guidance means that you simply cannot fail! Do other learning methods provide you with this?
Drum kit and percussion lessons alone don’t make you a better drummer. It’s how you spend the 7 days between lessons that really counts. A great drum teacher will help you to use your time wisely, helping you to come up with an effective and personalised practice strategy for maximum results in the shortest amount of time.

5. Be Around Others In the Same Situation
How often do you make music with others? Even if you do not want to be an international rock star, playing music with other people is beneficial to your playing, builds self-confidence and is simply great fun and very rewarding. A great teacher runs jam classes, workshops and other group events designed to boost your playing whilst having fun making music with others.
“I never believed after only 3 months of lessons I would be playing like I am now.Since I was younger I wanted to learn the drums, but since left handed I didn't think it be so easy to find someone to teach me. I finally got up the nerve to try it at 26 some call it midlife crisis, lol, and found Agelis. I had never played or sit at the drum kit the past so went to him as a total noob. I never believed after only 3 months of lessons I would be playing like I am now, granted I need more work on polishing up what I have learnt but I can actually play a few tunes ! His teaching techniques are very easy to understand, fun to learn and get the addiction of wanting to learn more and more. Jon is very patient and easy going but also at same time he dont let you get lazy or sloppy with your playing and makes sure the basic structure of drumming is perfect. I would reccomend him to anyone.

“Without the enormous amounts of inspiration, knowledge, and motivation he has passed along, I would probably not be pursuing a career in music today. In fact, his teaching has been so effective that my love for the drums has re-kindled, and in a short amount of time, I’ve already regained those abilities I previously thought would take many years to return."
Nikos Hatzopoulos , Thessaloniki
“After 3 months I feel that I have improved more than in the previous 18 months with another teacher.I had taken drum lessons before, and given up, but then I decided to give it another go with another teacher, so I got in touch with AD. I really appreciate the fact that the lessons are made to help us learn how to play the style of music that we like. The lessons are good fun, everything is well explained with patience and lots of detail, and we leave with plenty of things to practise at home."
