Graceland Drum Academy

I've been trying to learn the drums from YouTube for 12 months, so much content but I was making slow progress because I had no structure to my learning. So I gave barrie a call.

I have been having lessons with Barrie for a few years now and he is a great teacher. His method is really easy to grasp and he'll have you playing in no time. He has experience in virtually all aspects of drumming and will teach you whatever you are interested. He has helped me to get distinction in grades as well as teaching me songs. He is a great laugh and you'll soon gain a new friend. Barrie is the best teacher I've ever come across and has provided me with invaluable knowledge. Matt 16
