Here are a sample of photos taken at recent drum workshops I run. I can pace the level to suit you, whether you're a complete beginner or a more experienced drummer - the main thing is that we have a lot of fun!
The Gambia Academy is the school charity we support, founded by musician Sona Jobarteh, through profit from thedrumcoach work. It's a great cause and the kids learn music, dance and various instruments besides a regular curriculum. Do visit their website below! Thanks

News
Welcome to my website that introduces myself and the drumming I offer.
I work in Shropshire mainly around Church Stretton, Ludlow and Shrewsbury.
Please have a browse around to find what you need and then contact me for more information.
It's a not-for-profit enterprise so contributions go to various good causes and charities in West Africa, mainly in The Gambia.
Feedback:
"I love coming drumming, I really enjoy it, particularly as we have 2 new people so I can temporarily feel my skills are superior!"
Best wishes, Ailsa
"Hi Peter, Thank you for running our drum session last night. The evening was everything we'd hoped for and more. To pitch a session perfectly, for such a variety of ages, physical ability/mobilty and confidence, was brilliant!"
Natalie, event organiser
