Drumhouse Nigel

Nigel is a great Teacher. He is patient and understanding and helps you move at a comfortable pace. I would recommend Nigel as a teacher.

For more than 3 years, Nigel has been a fantastic drum teacher! He has always let me know exactly how to achieve my goals, keeping a polite and positive manner. I worked through to a Grade 8 Merit. His prices are very competitive, too. - Danny aged 18.

In December 2018, I set myself a goal to play drums with a live band at my wife and I's 60th birthday party (July 13th 2019). 43 years earlier, I'd bought a kit, taught myself (badly) and with 3 or 4 others guys, we formed a band as all teenagers do. We played a few pub gigs and less than 12 months later it was all over. I hadn't sat behind a kit since then. My dream was still there however and when I was introduced to Nigel, he was up for helping me achieve my goal and thought it was a great idea. On Day 1, Nigel sat me behind his kit and asked me to play something - I pretty well stared blankly at the circles in front of me! However, as you'll see from the photo, I did achieve my goal and suprised more than 80 friends and family, most of whom had no idea. I want to thank Nigel for his patience but also his frankness. Nigel is dedicated to helping you learn the rudiments that will hold you in good stead for whatever you choose to play. We had a few laughs along the way, although I'm sure he had a few dispondent head shakes on occasions following my lessons. In the end, I got there and the bonus was, Nigel even found me the perfect band to play with on the night! .Moreexpand_more

I have been having lessons with Nigel for over 2 years, he has helped me a lot with my GCSE's, he is very patient and makes every lesson interesting. I would recommend Nigel to anyone looking to take up drums.

I had Nigel teaching me for 8 years and ever lesson I had was amazing, he pushed me to do my grades which I'm really thankful for. And he will go a above and beyond to help you learn.

Nigel's lessons are always very positive and relaxed, whilst being at the same time focussed and I have made great progress under his guidance and teaching over the last 4 years. He is a very pleasant teacher and really fun to be taught by, I would recommend him to anybody who wants to learn drumming and have fun doing so.

Nigel has been teaching our son Dexter for 18+ months now. He is a great teacher with a balance of tough and fair. Dexter wants to do a good job for him to make him proud! As a teacher he cares and we believe he goes above and beyond in his duties as a teacher. If you're undecided - go with him. He knows what he's doing!

Nigel has been teaching my daughter for the last two years. His patience and perseverance has allowed her to start to overcome many barriers to learning due to her dyslexia and dyspraxia. He has the utmost patience, always striving to find different ways to explain concepts, and always progressing at a pace appropriate to the pupil. His encouraging, positive and sensitive manner ensures that confidence can be built up quickly and a good relationship is formed. I do not have any hesitation in recommending Nigel as a drum kit teacher.

Nigel has been teaching my sons the drums for nearly 3 years now. He is very patient and great at engaging them. He helps them to persist when they are finding it hard to pick something up. My boys both enjoying chatting to him and he is a very talented drummer. I think he is excellent value for money and would recommend him without hesitation.

Nigel has mad every effort to get to the top of the drumming world and this shows in the way that he puts across his love for teaching this instrument.

Nigel has been teaching my son for a year now, and has provided a professional and reliable service. Although my son had been playing for a few years and made a lot of progress without the aid of a teacher, Nigel very quickly picked up on and set about rectifying a few 'bad habits' which had developed, which would otherwise have hampered progress. As well as increased technical proficiency, Nigels lessons have encouraged a more 'musical' approach to drumming, and I would recommend Nigel to anyone looking for drum lessons.

Nigel is a great teacher, starts right at the bottom with you and at this moment is taking me and my son up ! He is very professional and i have full confidence in his teaching. Lessons are als fun and great value for money.

Nigel at Drumhouse Nigel has been teaching me the drums for over 9 months now. It was always my dream to learn but i was nervous to start as it seems from the outside world that drumming is a male dominated instrument. Nigel immediately made me feel comfortable with the drum kit, spending as much time as needed on particular subjects, ensuring i could not only do the subject but i fully understood the background for it too. Nigel teaches me at my own house which i feel more than comfortable about as he is trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable about his subject - you can see the passion in his eyes when he teaches. Nigel goes at your pace which is excellent, always pushing you to do better but not being pushy with it. Thank you Nigel for being such a good teacher - i look forward to many more lessons and getting my grades! :).

Nigel has been teaching me the drums for about a year now. I had weekly lessons for about 6 months and now have fortnightly lessons. The lessons take place in my own home on my own kit and last about an hour. The quality of tuition is excellent due to Nigel's own exceptional proficiency and experience of many styles of drumming. He is patient and understanding whilst encouraging me to never become complacent about my increasing 'palette'. I feel I have made much more progress than I could have hoped for due to Nigel's guidance and insight. It's worth pointing out that by Nigel coming to my house I save money and time on transport to and from lessons. I can't recommend Drumhouse Nigel enough to those who are serious about wanting to learn drums - exceptional value!

Our son has progressed exceptionally well with Nigel's tuition. He is patient, thorough and has a wealth of knowledge and techniques which he willingly shares. He works with our son to find his strengths and preferences while teaching him a variety of techniques. We cannot fault him.
