Student success stories and feedback
Eighteen months ago I’d never picked up a drumstick and had no idea what a ‘ride’ or a ‘groove’ were. Last week, I played drums with my band (Cranky Dogg) in our first ever performance at a charity gig in front of 130 people. It was an utterly brilliant experience!
As well as being seriously “rock and roll”(!), playing drums is hugely therapeutic. Will is a great teacher and I’d thoroughly recommend anyone considering playing drums to book a lesson with Elephant Drums. A word of warning though, you’ll get hooked…….!!!

The booking in advance process was really easy, and the teacher was very friendly and accommodating. I felt at ease yet motivated and got so much out of the lessons, I bought my brother a gift voucher for lessons for his birthday. Highly recommended.

I had been thinking about taking drumming lessons for some time, and I am so pleased I finally did it. The lessons are kept interesting, the material is tailored to your skill level and interests, and it is so satisfying when you feel yourself progress

I went to my first drum lesson convinced that I would have no rhythm, but I wanted to give it a go anyway. I was really impressed with myself that I was able to get into drumming so quickly (thanks to great communication and patience from my teacher!). I learned the basics of a groove and getting coordinated to play the drum kit within the first lesson. Thanks!

My teacher is informative, flexible and passionate within the lessons. Its not like being at ‘school’ and having to do set tasks, we go at a pace that suits us both which makes the lessons all the more enjoyable

Dear Will,
Just a few words to say thank you.
I visited London for three weeks in january and I had some classes at Elephant Drums with Marco Quarantotto. I enjoyed the classes a lot, but I didn’t expect I was going to improve so much!! I mean, I wanted to refine my technique but I didn’t know how important it is, and how important a good teacher is.
Marco teached me the fundamentals of the free stroke and the Moeller technique. I had been practicing with the help of some DVD tutorials, but the real good help was to meet Marco.
Now, after four months practicing my hand technique has improved so much…
I contacted several drum teachers, but I chose Elephant Drums because of your email answer. It seemed very serious and professional and you gave me the answer I was wondering. Now I know I did the right choice.
Thank you very much, to you and Marco.

I took a short course of lessons with Marco to help me prepare for a special gig. He got me working on all kinds of new techniques that really increased my skills and gave me the confidence to give a great performance at the gig. I hope to go back for more lessons soon, to take my playing to the next level!
