About Danny
I graduated with a Diploma in Popular Music Performance from Drumtech in London in 2004 and since then I have been fortunate to perform and record in many places around world - but mainly in London, Glasgow, and Shanghai. I'm competent in most musical styles, but especially rock and pop. I also sing and play guitar. Among the many music projects I've been involved with: * I co-wrote and performed material with the band Pyroglyphix, including creating and triggering loops and samples * I was drummer/backing vocalist for indie rock artist Emma Pollock on her tour of China. * I currently play with the London-based bands Miniseries and Parenthesis... and am involved in other music projects in London. You can follow my playing and check out some free educational content on Instagram and YouTube I'm a qualified, experienced, responsible teacher.

I like to base my lessons as much as possible on students' own interests. I also teach the Trinity Rock & Pop syllabus for graded exams. Having played drums for over twenty years in many different musical styles and all kinds of performance situations from small pub gigs to large festival stages, as well as recording sessions, I bring a lot of experience and practical knowledge to my lessons. I know what works and what doesn't, and I love passing on that knowledge and seeing students progress. I'm also a qualified teacher of English as a second language and I bring that perspective to my drum lessons - I know how to put myself in the students' shoes and make lessons fun and engaging, while gradually building up the student's confidence and core skills. If students are interested, I can jam along with them on guitar when practising tunes so they can gain essential experience playing with another musician. I like teaching students of all different ages and abilities. I offer lessons over Zoom for £30 and hour (with a free 30 minute introductory session). I also teach lessons from my studio space in South London and travel to teach lessons around Central London at a rate of£40/hour.

I recently hired Danny for a session to prepare some original material for live performance and was absolutely delighted with the results. In addition to outstanding technical quailities, he demonstrated a thorough musical understanding of the material in terms of feel, flow and dynamics. It was evident that he'd prepared well for the session, augmenting the basic patterns with a range of percussion options to further enhance the feel. During the session, he was very easy to work with, constructive, and had many useful suggestions to improve the feel and flow of the piece
I would have no hesitation in recommending Danny for future sessions in both a live and recording context and look forward to working with him again soon.I have worked with Danny on several occasions, each time he has proven a reliable and trustworthy colleague. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Danny is one of the best drummers I have had the pleasure of playing with. We played in a hip hop band all around China and at music festivals. His techniques and style range is off the charts.
Danny is a dedicated and passionate teacher, as well as a mature and responsible person. He will be a solid drum teacher for you and provide great value.
10/10I have worked with Danny in China and the U.K and every time has been a pleasant experience. He has played drums on my recent projects and is a constant professional. He has a wealth of drumming knowledge and experience and is able to play a wide range of styles.
I think Danny would be a great drum tutor and I know his students will benefit from him greatly.Danny has a decade of teaching experience, and over two decades of performing experience - and was trained at the UKs premier drum academy. So he really knows his stuff, and can play multiple styles - but he’s also a super nice guy, and a creative and patient teacher. Recommend!
