Drum Course

Introduction

The drum course will push you to your limits. Through expert tuition you will acquire the tools you need for accuracy, fluency, power and speed. You will explore a number of styles and look at signature drummers and songs.

We hold regular clinics at Nexus by some of the most famous players in the world. To date we have had Thomas Lang, Stanton Moore, Steve Smith, Donavan Hepburn and Ian Palmer to name but a few. You could be on the front row.

As part of the year you will be assigned to bands and will perform most weeks in our performance hall. This is a great part of the year that really allows students to develop their live playing.

To get the most from your classes you will have your own practice kit as well as access to our range of acoustic kits. What are you waiting for? Open days for this year are on:

• June 23rd 2010

Course Tutor

From an early age Tim had a passion for rhythm, and from the age of 7 he recalls asking his parents if he could play the drums.  Sadly his parents had to endure a few years of violin “playing” before he was allowed drum lessons at age 11.   Since then, he’s never looked back.

Tim joined his church music group aged 15 and shortly after was asked to play for singer/songwriter David Hoffbrand.  This was a great education for Tim, getting the opportunity to play with some excellent musicians.
