‘Experienced drum teacher offering private drum lessons at fully equipped studio in West London. Home & online tuition also available, all ages and abilities welcome!’

No matter if you are an absolute beginner and learning to play drums for fun, or if you are more experienced and wanting to take your skills to the next level; my drum lessons are tailored to each student in order to maximise your learning experience. My main objectives are to give you the tools you need in order to progress quickly on the drums and have fun along the way.

Drum Lessons

Intermediate – Advanced Drum Lessons:

My intermediate – advanced lessons are designed to help you achieve creative freedom on the drums, ultimately leading to you being able to play whatever you wish. In order to reach that stage, we will look at aspects of drumming such as: four-way coordination, advanced stick control, applying rudiments and paradiddles to grooves and fills, linear/layered applications and how to apply all of these aspects within musical settings.

Graded Exams:

If you are wanting to take your drumming exams, I teach from the Rock School syllabus. Rock School grades are designed to bring the fun back into the music examination process. By studying grades you can truly measure the progress throughout your lessons, which in return can bring great reward and give you the ambition to keep striving to improve on the drums. Each graded exam is split into different section including: play along tracks, techniques, rudiments, sight reading, ear tests and general musicianship questions. Although this may sound daunting, it really isn’t, and I will be there to help you every step of the way.

Beginner Drum Lessons:

At first learning the drums may seem daunting, however within your first lesson, I can guarantee that you will be familiar with the standard drum kit set-up and able to play your first beat. We will also look at posture, how to properly hold drum sticks and how to incorporate drum rolls into your playing. Each lesson will build upon previous lessons and the exercises covered will be written down and available for you to take home and practice in your own time.

Our son James has been having drum lessons with Anthony at our home in West London now for over 5 years. When starting lessons, James was only 9 years old and studying for his debut grade, but is now working towards great 8! It’s a fantastic achievement, and Anthony has worked hard preparing James for every exam. Anthony is without a doubt a great drum teacher and a very easy person to get along with. Some of our friends’ children also have drum lessons with Anthony and all have nothing but good things to say. We really can’t recommend him highly enough! Thank you!

Harvey

I just want to say a big thank you to Anthony! I have been playing drums for over 7 years as a hobby, but always had the ambition to take it further. During lockdown, I had the time on my hands, so reached out to Anthony for online drums lessons. In just 2 months I can already see a lot of progress – we have been working on different paradiddles and rolls and looking at how to incorporate them into grooves and fills. It’s opened up so many possibilities and has given me endless practice ideas to improve my drumming. If you’re on the fence about drum lessons, please just get in touch with Ant, you won’t regret it!

Eric

I can’t thank Anthony enough! I had been paying drums for over a year, but didn’t make much progress with a previous drum teacher. After lessons with Anthony, I now feel much more confident behind the kit and can play much more complex grooves and fills. I really can’t wait to see the progress we make over the next year!

After searching for drum lessons in West London, I came across Ant’s website – we’ve been having weekly lessons for over 3 months now and I’ve gone from complete beginner to playing along to some of my favourite songs like Enter Sandman by Metallica and Back in Black by AC/DC. I never thought this would be possible in such a short space of time. Thank you, Ant!

Sam Jones

My son Thomas has been having drum lessons with Anthony now for over 12 months and he thoroughly enjoys every session. Thomas started as an absolute beginner and is now working towards his grade two! Anthony is an enthusiastic teacher, reliable and always a pleasure to have in the house!

“Great teacher, great drummer! We highly recommend drum lessons with Ant Sullivan.”

London Drum School

“I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. I had never in my life played drums before and by the end of my first lesson I was able to hold a beat (I think) Simply awesome! Thanks Ant! :)”

Jo Kapetaniou

“Fantastic teacher, always challenging me but still so patient Highly recommended!!!”

Why take drum lessons?

In a world where all the information you need is at the click of a button, you might be questioning if taking drum lessons is entirely necessary. In short the answer is ‘yes’. While checking out different drum lessons online is a great way to learn, it is not the most effective, this is especially true for beginners.

When learning to play the drums you must first learn the fundamentals, then gradually build upon your existing knowledge. When taking drum lessons with me, I will give you tasks and exercises during each lesson that will build upon your previous lessons, ultimately leading to you becoming a better drummer. All of the material that is covered will be written down and given to you to take home and practice in your own time.

Along side being one of the most fun instruments to play, drumming also has a number of health benefits – Studies have shown that drumming can reduce stress and anxiety, boost your immune system and help you become more creative. Drumming can sometimes be quite a physical instrument and aids in keeping fit. Here is a great article by the BBC demonstrating that pro rock drummers are as fit as premiership footballers – read article.
