Drumming: An invaluable hobby that transcends music 

What if I told you that drumming can: 

  • Strengthen concentration 
  • Increase working memory 
  • Heighten energy levels 
  • Soothe the immune system 

But can also… 

  • Minimize brain fog 
  • Subdue anxiety & depression 
  • Lower blood pressure 
  • Reduce cortisol levels 

And what if I also told you that you DON’T need a drum kit…

…or prior experience? Or ‘natural talent’? Or be a certain age to start? You’re probably thinking ‘’yeah, right…”. But with the Drum With Alex team as your guide, those ‘roadblocks’ suddenly don’t matter. 

“My daughter has had a term of drumming lessons with Alex. She always looks forward to it! He’s fun, patient and has taught her so much in a very short time. I always look forward to seeing what he has set for her to listen to.”

Take a look at our values and see why you should Drum With Alex:

Enthusiasm

There is no greater joy than helping students uncover their musical aptitude – we are bananas about teaching!

Knowledge

Our tutors are highly skilled percussionists that want to pass their boundless knowledge onto budding drummers like yourself.

Inspiration

We are constantly inspired by our students and seek to return the favour through our innovative drumming experiences.

Kindness

We understand that positive reinforcement and compassion make for the best teachers (and the best learning!)

Comfort

Creating a fun, pressure-free learning environment is our prerogative above all.

Our Teaching

Online Lessons

We know your learning space is equally as important as finding your learning style. Creating a fun, pressure-free learning space is one of our 5 big values after all. For some that means practising drums alone. Or learning virtually.

But what if you’ve got an itching for the drums but can’t travel to in-person lessons, though? The DWA Family combats these “roadblocks” with our private online lessons service. We deliver immersive, 1-2-1 sessions via Zoom to bring a life-changing hobby directly to you.

What drumming does for you

(other than making you look cool) 

One of the best things about music is that it can be shared. Whether you want to play your favourite songs, learn different musical styles, or simply let off steam, Drum With Alex helps you realise your musical dreams. Our alumni have gone onto join bands and perform live shows. There are even DWA student performances at HMV Record store!
