I Started playing in september of 1984 and since then have never had a break, during this time i have played in marching bands, Drum Corps,theatres, pubs, clubs and jazz festivals. I have been lucky enough to win some competitions with my playing i have won the british youth band snare drum competition 3 times.
At the moment i am playing with a big band, this band has a twist to it, see the links section for more details.
I am currently very very busy teaching on a private basis, i teach at students homes and also in my teaching studio in Elland Halifax.
Lessons can be booked on 07976 727870 or rwilson@wibsey20.freeserve.co.uk
Lesson cost £18 per hour in your own home or £15 per hour in my studio.
I am also lucky enough to have sponsorship from Premier Percussion and Vic Firth drum sticks, both my teaching kit and gigging kit are both Premier.
