Reading & Theory

These are a very handy set of skills that help us understand the music that we are playing so we can play it solidly with confidence. The ability to read music means we can learn to play a lot of the material we see written down. 

Rhythm training

How to follow a chart. We start right as the basics so no prior musical understanding is required and each new idea is added one at a time so you progress comfortably.

Rudiments

Learn how to play the rudiments and use them in your playing musically. Sticking, roll studies,  applications, inversions and playing over different subdivisions. Often referred to as the drummers vocabulary. Learn how to apply and orchestrate these voicings to open up a vast array of musical ideas.

Advanced Rhythms

Covering odd, complex and irrational time signatures, phrasings, polyrhythms and metric modulation amongst other advanced topics. 

Musical Genres

“Took my 6 year old yesterday to meet Ash and have trial lesson. Ash was great, patient and encouraging at it being his first time with musical instrument, let alone the drums. He walked away so happy and asked when he could go back for his next lesson. Highly recommend!”
