Drum Lessons in Southeast London & Kent

Swanley drum lessons

Swanley Studio (BR8)

Swanley is a purpose-built drum teaching studio run by Elephant Drums tutor Alex Riccardi.

Alex set up the studio in response to requests for in-person lessons within easy reach of south-east London and Kent, so drum learners don't have to travel all the way into central London for lessons. Alex has taught for many years at the other drum studio locations and he has used his extensive experience to develop the new teaching studio in Swanley. He runs face-to-face lessons and can provide remote lessons by video.

The studio is just off the M25 and A20, and there is plenty of free parking available.

Please note you will need an appointment or confirmed booking before coming to the studios. If it is your first time use your introductory discount to book your first lesson. Any questions? Please contact us.
