Richard is a fantastic Drum tutor. He really is an expert in drumming. He was able to help me improve my drumming and develop a more natural drumming style. lessons were always informative and in a relaxed environment that made learning much easier. Would highly recommend :)

Richard teaches very flexibly and will help with whatever you want to do whether it is exam based or, like me, just for fun and the challenge of learning something new.
