Professional drummer & BA undergraduate at LCCM. Teaching all ages and abilities in Central London! Passionate, experienced tutor. First lesson FREE.

I highly recommend Richard as a drum tutor! I've been to several of his concerts, and he is an incredibly talented drummer. Beyond his skills, he is kind, patient, and genuinely invested in helping his students improve. If you want a teacher who is both highly skilled and supportive, Rich is the perfect choice.

I’d highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a tutor. From the first lesson, he was friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in helping me improve. He adapts each lesson to what you need rather than following the same approach every time, which made learning much more effective for me.

What stands out most is how approachable and encouraging he is. No question ever feels silly, and he always takes the time to make sure you've understood something before moving on. I've made much better progress than I expected and have enjoyed the lessons throughout. Definitely a tutor I'd recommend without hesitation.

As Richards's brother I have seen firsthand how passionate he is about both drumming and teaching. He's patient, encouraging, and adapts his lessons to suit each student's goals and ability level.

He's a skilled drummer, a great communicator, and genuinely cares about helping people improve. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for an approachable and dedicated drum tutor.

Richard is a superb teacher! I've had the pleasure of watching Rich perform live also, and he is a fantastic drummer. It is a testament to his professionalism that he can play to such an exceptional level and still take joy in breaking things down to the fundamentals.

With his enthusiasm and patient understanding, Rich was able to give me the confidence and skills needed to begin my journey. We've covered the foundations of playing, proper stick technique, and even played some of my favourite songs. I can't wait for more.

Richard really is the kind of teacher where you feel like he wants you to reach your full potential. He genuinely is on your side and wants you to do well, all while bringing out the joy and fun in lessons. I couldn’t recommend him enough. You can’t go wrong.

Very talented drummer, and musician in general!

It's obvious he's got a lot of experience and that he loves teaching the drums! He's very patient and he even has some charisma!
