The guys at Drum Central are awesome. No confidence before my first free lesson and now I've got a new hobby that I really enjoy and get excited about doing. Pete is a great teacher despite having to listen to my attempt at a paradiddle several times over. Even if you're only just thinking about taking up an instrument or getting your kids into something, definitely get in touch with these guys and with a free trial lesson on offer, what have you got to lose. Never disappointed

John is a great drum teacher and always made me feel really at ease. He puts lots of effort into getting to know his students and their music tastes and for this reason, lessons are always enjoyable and made to suit the individual student. He is also so supportive of emerging bands and really helped our band to find our feet during the beginnings. His own background and knowledge of music is super helpful, if you are thinking of starting drum lessons, I would recommend him highly.

John Alexander gave my son Eliot drum lessons for many years throughout his teens. John was a very patient but thorough teacher and Eliot achieved his drumming grades under Johns tuition. In 2015, John entered Eliot into The Young Drummer of the Year competition and was positioned in the top 40 young drummers in the UK, this was quite an achievement. I would definitely recommend John Alexander if you are considering drum lessons for your child, he was very polite and an excellent teacher with a calming influence.

John A Drums has been absolutely brilliant working with my, diagnosed autistic, now 9 year old. Ruben started having drumming lessons because he was so stressed at school and I wanted him to to have an out let for his pent up anxiety, I also feel that drumming helps with Rubens co ordination, John has been really patient and made the lessons fun, I would highly recommend John as an excellent, caring teacher, he knows when to work hard and when to make it fun! My son likes John a lot.

My son was taught drums by John Alexander a few years ago and has since then gone on to form his own band. John is a great role model for young kids. He is committed and passionate about his work and has a lovely calm way about him that puts his pupils at ease. I would highly recommend this place.
