ABOUT US
Here's why I teach drums (and Why You'll Love it).
Hi! I'm Alisdair - drummer of 20+ years and teacher of 10+ years. I founded Midlands Drum School for a love of teaching and giving students a clear, structure route to success with their drumming goals. I think teaching is an art as much as drumming is, and whilst there are a lot of fantastic drummers out there, the ones that can teach are few and far between.
What Makes This Different
🎯 Clear, Structured Goals & Digital Tracking
No more wondering what to practice when you get home. During your weekly studio lesson, we set clear targets tailored to your goals and log your progress digitally. You’ll always know exactly where you are in your drumming journey, what you’re working on, and what it takes to unlock your next milestone.
👁️ Instant, Hands-On Technique Feedback
An app or video can’t catch subtle adjustments in real time. Sitting side-by-side at the kit, I can instantly spot and correct your wrist motion, grip, posture, and timing before bad habits take root—ensuring you build maximum speed, power, and efficiency smoothly.
🎼 Custom Charts & Unlimited Drumless Tracks
Can’t find an accurate chart for a song you love, or found one that feels way too difficult right now? I write bespoke drum notation simplified or expanded directly to your current skill level right during your lesson. Plus, you get access to custom drumless tracks for virtually any song so you can jam at home with confidence.
