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.
