About Paul
A very much in-demand percussionist/drummer, Paul has played over a thousand gigs, in award-winning bands, touring the UK constantly and has recently returned from a tour of China as part of the prestigious Nanjing International Jazz and World Music Festival. He has appeared on over 30 albums (plus over 40 singles/EPs) and tracks he has played on have featured on Channel 4, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 5 and countless other stations worldwide.
He is now also available for teaching work... whether you're a total beginner looking to take your first steps into the drumming world, or a regular player who just needs a few pointers, Paul can help. The sessions are relaxed, taught with patience and with the emphasis on you developing your own style; the focus is equally on confidence and creativity, as much as it is on the disciplines required to play a tight groove. Above all, much fun shall be had, which is very much the point of playing music in the first place, of course!
Lessons can be tailored towards playing with a full kit, or playing percussion (ideal for acoustic gigs and a great way to get build the rhythmic foundations). Once you're up and running, we can get you jamming to pre-recorded basslines to replicate a real-life rehearsal/gig situation. These lessons aren't just to teach you how to play drums, but how to play live; we'll work on composure, improvisation and confidence. If you really get the drumming bug (which you will), we'll also work on how to prepare you for studio recording sessions.
DBS checked, Paul taught drums at Fitzwilliam College in June/July 2017 at their acclaimed summer courses (2 and a half hour lessons, classes of 7-9 students) and regularly teaches at other colleges across Cambridgeshire.

Paul certainly knows his stuff and is likeable, professional and engaging throughout.
His performance credentials also add gravitas to him as a teacher.
I would thoroughly recommend Paul.Paul is an incredibly patient, professional drumming teacher, and a very nice man too. If you choose him as your Teacher he will provide expert guidance and tips on how best to improve your drumming. This means you should improve as efficiently and effectively as possible.
