A BRIEF HISTORY
Our Story
Conceived by two drummers who believed drum lessons could be so much better, BANG Drum School was born.
With two acoustic drum kits for every lesson, our students spend their entire lesson behind the kit. This ensures maximum playing time, enhanced enjoyment and a vastly superior learning experience.
Since opening our doors in December 2012 with just a handful of students, BANG has grown into a thriving drum school, offering one-to-one tailored drum lessons in both London and Southampton to over 150 dedicated students.

The Teachers
Danny
Danny has been drumming for over 23 years, performing regularly in groups across the country. In 2011, he achieved a Drumming National Diploma (Merit) at Tech Music Schools to enhance his drumming theory and teaching methods. For over 17 years he has worked with students of all ages, including time spent in primary schools and working with children who have Special Educational Needs. He is also a keen guitarist, giving all his students the opportunity to play with another musician and develop their performance skills.
Sam
Sam has over 21 years experience playing drums and 16 years tutoring experience. Starting his teaching career with two years in an established drum school in Birmingham and after completing a degree in Music & Popular Music at Manchester Metropolitan University, he went on to gain a Drumming National Diploma (Merit) at Tech Music Schools. These years of experience have seen him play in numerous bands and perform in great venues and studios up and down the country.
Jake
London born and bred, Jake got his first drum kit at the age of 9 and has been hooked ever since. Professional drum lessons fuelled Jake’s passion and honed his technique; at the age of 15 he obtained a distinction at Grade 8 drum kit from Trinity-Guildhall. Jake’s skills and experience have allowed him to tour and record with many professional bands and artists, and have been put to good use in his professional teaching career, tutoring across London including over 3 years at the eminent London School of Arts.
Simon
Simon picked up his first pair of drumsticks 18 years ago and has continually been inspired to pursue drums since then. After achieving a grade 8 with distinction from Rockschool Simon continued to strive for excellence throughout university and in his career working as a teacher, bandleader and musician in the vibrant London music scene. Simon has worked toward becoming a highly competent and well-rounded drummer in an eclectic mix of styles. A high level of technical expertise and an excellent theoretical understanding have underpinned this.
