Owner - Senior Drum Teacher

Falling in love with music from a very young age, Ash began his musical journey by playing both the bass and guitar while at school, thanks to an inspiring teacher, Ms. Small, who offered him lessons and nurtured his talent. As he approached the end of high school, he picked up the drumsticks and never looked back, finding his true passion in percussion. Completely self-taught, Ash made the decision to pursue a career as a drummer after extensively playing and gigging with multiple bands across a wide variety of genres. Now, Ash is here to share and pass on his valuable knowledge, experience, and effective methods with you, aiming to inspire and elevate your own musical journey.
