I can teach you how to play along the lines of Cryptopsy hahaha

I can teach you at a local recording studio,a room with drum kit and cymbals is around ten quid an hour,what would you expect to pay me on top of that for an hour long lesson?.
By the way how much is a beginners hour long lesson nowadays?

Don't do it,they will play Jazz and bore you to death with sight reading and you will give up as it will not be fun.

too true.

emoth girl - you can only learn from your mistakes . . . many great drummers can play with all the compassion in the world but not have a fucking clue about the technical side ( i.e sight reading )

playing an instrument is all creating music from inside your heart.

Enthusiasm + Patience + imagination = the road to success

Enthusiasm + patience + education + imagination = a well rounded player.

Biz...will you cease with this shite where you diss every decent, respected drum teacher in the city in preference to your yourself. Nick Gibson and Archer Kemp are both mates of mine, and I've had lessons with both over extended periods. Not one bit of my time with them was either wasted or boring.

You may be an excellent teacher for all i know, but your refusal to acknowledge grade exams, jazz etc as being worthwhile, suggests to me that your credentials aren't up there with Nick and Archers.

Focus on the good things YOU can do, not beating down on everyone else.
