JIMLAD'S DRUM SITE




I'm a professional drumming teacher based in Exmouth, Devon. I have two teaching studios, one at Exmouth and one at Exeter Music Shop,Sidwell St,Exeter. For full details about me and my tuition, go to my website; www.drumstyle.co.uk. There you will also find a link to a "free drummers help site", also set up by myself.

I'm a big fan of Premier Signia drums and own two kits (greedy me).An original Signia in topaz laquer finish and a Signia Marquis in silver glitter. I favour Paiste 2002 cymbals I have played them for over twenty years and have not heard anything yet to tempt me away, they just sound perfect. As for snare drums,I have several Yamahas and a Sonor.

*Alan Palmer.. my first drum teacher, a superb player. *My school drum teacher, he was AWFUL and taught me how NOT to teach! *Buddy Rich a massive positive influence. *Geoff Myers, superb drummer with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra in the 70's. *Every other good drummer I have heard play since I started drumming 30 odd years ago!

Drumstyle Drum Kit TuitionMy kit teaching business based in East Devon.

I have the absolute pleasure to be the drummer for the SouthWests leading Jazz Big Band "A.J's Big Band" an 18 piece made up of pro's and semi-pro's. I have been the "1st call" drummer for 14 years. I have played the drums for most kinds of band but believe me,until you have powered a Big Band you have not lived.

I have an absolutely dream job, I'm surrounded by drums and drummers all day long as a drumming teacher. If I can keep this up until I retire, I will be a very very happy bunny indeed!
