About Me

Hey!! My name is Giannis and I'm a 19 years old jazz drummer from the beautiful island of Crete, Greece. I started playing drums at the age of 10 and soon I fell in love with the instrument and music in general.


As a teenager, I had the amazing opportunity to travel from Crete to Athens once a month (a 9-hour ferry ride) to receive private lessons from some of the best teachers in Greece. After a year of dedicated lessons, I emerged in the Cretan jazz scene as a young and promising drummer. When I graduated high school (with an overall grade of 19/20, 6 excellence awards and 3 distinction awards) I moved to the Hague in order to study jazz drums in the Royal Conservatory of the Hague, with teachers such as Eric Ineke, Felix Schlarman and Stefan Kruger.

As a teacher I try to follow the path desired by the student, while following the methods my own teachers passed down to me, which include active music listening, sufficient exercises and mentorship.

Communication: Able to explain musical concepts and inspire the students

Hello, my music lessons will always be customized depending on the goals of the student, always maintaining a basic technical standard in the instrument. The implementation of music theory is key to creating a mutual language so it will be included as part of the program

Drum lessons, (technique and songs), beginners to advanced
Lesson is given on location or at home (if you have a drum kit), and your first lesson is always free, because you have to be able to determine if you like drumming and you want me as a teacher. . Drum lessons (giving) is always fun and educational. You learn in addition to technique (the correct (sitting) posture, stick control and the 'rudiments' basic patterns such as the familiar 'roffel' (double-stroke-roll) and the 'paradiddle' - also the importance of counting, dynamics, reading notes and timing After all, you will all need them if you want to continue (with a band or just for yourself). - How long does it take before I become a drummer? Two answers: a few hours, and a lifetime. You will see that you can play nice things in no time, but also that top drummers in the world, such as Phil Collins, Cesar Zuiderwijk, Dave Lombardo or Simon Phillips, learn new things every day (and happy). - Am I too old to start? You're never too old, - Do I have a sense of rhythm? You can learn rhythm feeling. I have NOT been able to teach anyone. - Is there a best drummer in the world? It is about fun, and there is no podium or medal, only thousands of colleagues who are doing very well. - Is drumming only something for men? I do not think so! Take a look at Sheila E. or Cindy Blackman;)

All-styles drumming, percussion and music theory lessons
I've been a drummer for almost 20 years now, and I've graduated from both Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music (classical percussion) and Mons Royal Conservatory of Music (pedagogy). I've been teaching percussion, the drums and music theory for a little more than 4 years now. My students are always the real actors of my courses. No matter what instrument you are learning, be it percussion, the drums, marimba, vibraphone, or music theory, I always pay close attention to your personal goals, and together we devise a unique learning plan that adapts to your strengths as well as your weaknesses. My courses are aimed at anyone who is willing to put effort into learning music; children or adults, complete beginners or more advanced players who wish to receive additional feedback and insight. Autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening skills are the true pillars of my methodology. We pay as much attention to technique as to musicality or listening skills. Additionally, I provide tailored exercises, on-demand sheet music and transcriptions according to your needs, as well as additional resources and recommendations on my website to nourish your musical life and journey. I teach the following: -the drums, in various styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, world music, latin music, on-demand songs) and forms (Moeller technique, speed, rudiments, syncopation, breaks, solo, independence, musicality, double pedal, push-pull, etc.); -percussion (2 or 4-mallet marimba and vibraphone, xylophone, timpani, cajón, hand percussion), in both contemporary and classical music styles; -music theory, which can and will easily be integrated into my drumming or percussion courses, or can be taught as a separate course for music students who are seeking remedial education; -harmony; -sight reading techniques; -perfect and relative pitch (experimental)

Drum lessons (pop, rock, metal, electro) all levels
Thank you for visiting my profile :) Whether you know how to read music or not, I'll teach you the drums using a progressive method that lets you know exactly what to practice and when, in a motivating way. This will allow you to optimize your practice time and progress quickly. Whether it's to learn great classics of different styles: - rock: ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers... - metal: Metallica, Slipknot, Gojira... - pop: Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Adele... To other styles (funk, electro) or even composing your own pieces. In addition to teaching, I perform a lot with my band Macrowave, so I can help you prepare for the stage as well. A graduate with honors from the Music Academy International, I have been teaching drums for over 10 years with a clear, progressive teaching approach adapted to each student, whatever their level (from complete beginner to advanced drummer). Through my site Batteur Sans Limite, I had the opportunity to share tutorials, online courses and interviews with renowned drummers from the French scene (Mario Duplantier – Gojira, Loïc Maurin – M83, Jérôme Castry – Alpha Blondy...). My goal: to provide concrete and inspiring tools to help you progress in the styles you love. I have also created many educational videos: if you want to learn how to film yourself or produce musical content, I can help you choose and use the equipment. Experience: more than 20 years of drum practice, and 10 years of teaching Sponsors: Mystic Cymbals, RLRRLRLL clothing, Roc'N Soc seats Bands: Macrowave and Blurry Eyes

Beatbox - I teach you how to create rhythms and sounds, using only your voice and mouth as instruments!
Beatboxing is a relatively unknown discipline, even though it allows for an absolutely incredible musical variety: percussion, whistles, bass, special sounds straight out of an alien movie... our body is an instrument in itself, and learning beatbox is accessible to everyone! (Take a look at some beatboxer videos online, you'll be amazed!) I'll take you step by step, starting with easy and useful sounds, gradually moving towards impressive, fun sounds, or those of your choice. In addition, I practice with you and complete your knowledge of music theory and particularly rhythm when necessary. Don't hesitate to contact me to find out more about me, my methods, or beatboxing, see you soon! ;)

Lorenzo
Drums lessons in FR-IT-EN with an experienced and qualified teacher
Je donne cours en français - Description disponible en Français Do lezione in Italiano - Descrizione disponibile in Italiano ......................................................................................................................................................... The course method, inspired by the Agostini school (French method used in French and Belgian academies and conservatories) is divided between technique and drums. At the rate of one session each we will focus once on technique and movements outside the drums (on pads) and the other time on the drums and the application of technique and movements. -> The technique lessons and the movements will be those of the so-called 'Moeller technique' that I learned through his direct lineage of student. -> The drum lessons are greatly inspired by the pedagogy of the M.A.I. (Music Academy International - Nancy (fr)) and in particular that of Richard-Paul Morellini, renowned instructor. The courses are complete, in-depth but above all specifically thought of to be progressive. They are suitable for children from 7 years old as well as adults of all ages. => Particular attention is paid to the movements and their correct application, to the total independence of the limbs and finally to an understanding of the rhythm and its theory. My main goal is to give the student complete control behind the drums and skills to be able to self-learn any piece in any musical style. 1 hour of weekly lessons are never enough, they should only be used to fuel the passion that will make you play at home more and more. On demand or for advancs students: - I am very passionate about the study of South American rhythms. Due to their complexity, apart from the samba and Baïon ostinatos, they are not included in the program before the advanced level. They can be at the request of the student. - I am also specialized in metal (musical style) and double pedal. The latter is not included in the program unless requested by the student. The double pedal courses are based on the methodology of Virgil Donati. Technique: * Moeller technique (the 'whipping motion' - the Free stroke -Full/Half/Low stroke - accepting the rebound - its application etc.) * Snare rudiments and their applications through reading systems * Readings of scores and exercises for the snare drum * Speed drills * Military marches * Control of the different subdivisions (quarter notes - eighth notes - triplets - sixteenth notes - quintuplets - sextuplets - triple eighth notes - nonolets etc.) * Displacement of accents and polyrhythms * On request, double pedal technique (application of the Moeller to the double pedal as well as everything listed above but with the feet) Drums: * Bass drum reading and independance * Snare drum reading and independance * Applications of ghost notes * The 16 sixteenth-notes ostinatos * Jazz readings and independence * Binary and ternary readings * Coordination and movements of both feet * Dynamics on the instrument * Creation of fills and original drum grooves * On request, application of the double pedal * On request or for advanced students, readings and independence of South American rhythms (study and independence of the clave/Cascara/Mozambique etc.)

Music lessons: drums, percussion, rhythmic music theory...
Hello, I offer drums lessons in a warm place or at your home. Come and discover the battery differently. My mission is to help you develop your own identity on the instrument. I offer you a fun approach that focuses on the pleasure of playing. Having followed training and courses throughout my life (conservatory, schools ...), I am passionate and dedicated to sharing all of my experience with you. I practice in many music groups and other structures (schools, associations ...). With more than 20 years of experience in drums and more than 10 years in percussion, I teach many musical genres (jazz through Latin music, pop, hip hop, rock, hard, punk, metal ..) , the double pedal, notions of music theory, rhythmic reading. Possibility of taking percussion lessons (darbuka, bongos, African djembe, congas, jaw harp, dhol). The programs are directly inspired by internationally recognized methods, thus being able to adapt to the needs, levels and requirements of each individual. I travel but I also receive in a room with equipment available (any age and level of practice are allowed, from initialization to professionals). A different approach to music lessons: My teaching is resolutely modern. Classes are a moment of musical and human sharing where error is used as a positive experience to move forward. We work by oral transmission to complete the scores. We use onomatopoeia to quickly develop musical and felt play, rather than just reading and playing. So ... Tempted? No excuse, I give you couses from Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 11 pm. FROM child (from 5 years old) to senior, and from beginner to professional. Registration possible all year round. Contact me for more info on prices and formulas ... See you soon,
