Drum Lessons

I’m Mikey, a professional freelance drummer and drum teacher based in Leighton Buzzard.

I started playing drums at 11, achieved a grade 8 distinction at 15, and consistently strive for improvement. With over a decade of professional experience and having studied with top drummers worldwide, I've played for various artists and projects.

As a dedicated teacher, I've maintained a 100% exam pass rate for my students over the last 10 years. Recently, I opened a new drum studio to enhance my students' learning experience.

All my lessons are taught on a one-to-one basis. All ages and abilities are welcome. I believe it’s never too late to start! At all skill levels, playing music is a rewarding experience!

I am dedicated to helping my students achieve goals that are important to them. Whether it’s learning your favourite songs, tackling the grades, or gaining expert command over the drum set.

As a teacher, I am patient, non-judgmental and easy-going. I will keep you challenged and continuously progressing in a fun and relaxed environment.

  • "My son was a beginner when he started tuition with Mikey, he has moved through the grades at speed and is now studying Grade 8. Mikey is attentive, patient, flexible and most importantly has an excellent rapport with his students which really builds their confidence. The added value has been the support Mikey has given to get my son through his music GCSE."

  • "5 years ago our son began his journey with Mikey as he worked through his exam grades. The confidence that he's gained and the relationship he's developed with Mikey is second to none. Mikey is a fantastic tutor who brings out the natural talent in his students and seeing the successes with every exam passed is all we can ask for."
