Robbie Hookins - Drum Tuition

I can't remember how I found Robbie but I'm glad I did. I worked with him for six months a couple of years ago and returned to him late last year. What I love about his approach is that he takes the time to understand exactly what you want to achieve. He doesn't teach the rudiments and run through grade books; he finds ways to bring musical concepts to life that you can apply in your own playing. He's now also teaching my son, who is also a big fan. I'm very happy to recommend Robbie to any d...

I have been a student of Robbie's for almost a year now and I have nothing but respect and admiration for him and his tuition. Last year I endeavoured to finally take the time to learn drums and so I contacted him about lessons. We began regular sessions soon after and I honestly cannot imagine having a teacher that is any more skilled than Robbie.

After moving to Brighton I decided to get back to drumming, I’m so glad to have gone for lessons with Robbie.

I tend to be very tense during my music lessons before, but Robbie makes me feel relaxed and entertained in front of the drums.

Robbie is a great drum teacher! I was a complete beginner when I started and he's taught me at a good pace, tailored to the styles of music I like. Flexible with lesson timings and provides excellent between session work which enables my skills to improve without feeling overwhelmed or not pushed enough. Would highly recommend!

Robbie is an excellent and patient drum teacher! I was worried because I was only a beginner and didn’t know much about drums, but I have learned so much in just a few months. Robbie taught me the basics and cores, as well as applying those to my individual music taste, which is great! The lessons are very informative and entertaining. I’d recommend Robbie for anyone interested in drums!
