Testimonials

“Chris is an amazing teacher and his years of experience really show in how much my son loves his drum lessons. He’s super flexible with the content he teaches and keeps things fresh so my son (mostly!) keeps up with practice. Can’t recommend Chris highly enough.”
— Kieren
“Chris has been amazing for our son! He has amazing communication with us and we always know where our son is up to with his lessons. Chris’ organisational skills have been a life saver!”
— Tara
“My 12 year old son has been getting drum lessons from Chris for a number of years. His patient, professional approach makes for a great learning environment. My son comes home from lessons inspired to practice. He has also started sight reading rhythm sheet music, which is unusual for drummers. Chris brings balance and top level skills to his lessons, while creating a fun, relaxed learning environment. I thoroughly recommend his services.”
— Todd

About Me

I started playing the drums as a teenager in the 90’s.

Initially taking lessons at school, then travelling to Billy Hydes Drumcraft in Sydney for lessons with Milan Troha.

I’ve been working as a professional drummer and teacher for nearly 30 years.

Over the years I’ve played in numerous cover bands, original bands, national and international tours, tv shows and tribute shows.

I’m currently playing around 100 shows a year with Live Baby Live: INXS Tribute Show and Shake It Off: Taylor Swift Tribute Show

Some of the artists I’ve recorded with include: Human Nature, The McClymonts, Darlene Zschech and more.

I currently teach around 50 students a week at Music Works Erina, Green Point Christian College, Central Coast Adventist School and Wyong Christian Community School.

I’ve written 3 drum books, which form the core of my teaching curriculum: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Drum Kit Studies.
