Hello! 🥁🎵 Are you looking to start a new musical adventure ? My name is Chen. I’ve been living, performing, and teaching here in Amsterdam for the last few years, and I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in jazz drums from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (CvA). I love diving into a massive mix of styles, blending everything from jazz and minimalism to rock, electronic music, and creative groove concept drumming. I truly believe that music lessons should be tailored to what gets you excited. Whether you want to master a solid practice pad routine, learn your favorite songs, build up your timing and coordination, or dive deep into advanced improvisation, we will design the lessons around your goals. All ages and levels are welcome! Let's make playing the drums fun, focused, and uniquely yours. Get in touch, and let's get started!

I'm a 3rd year bachelor student studying jazz drumming at Prins Claus Conservatorium, Groningen. The main idea of the lesson is to develop your interest in music as much as I can, have fun while being productive and progressive. I can guarantee that I will provide 1. Well-equiped teaching facilities. 2. Every student's lesson will be prepared thoroughly before class as a mind map. I like to teach because I love sharing the joy of playing drums to people and let them have a good time. I have multiple teaching experiences covering all ages. I have great relationship with all of them.

Hi! I’m Diego Hernández, a Costa Rican drummer and percussionist based in Rotterdam, with a Master’s degree from Codarts and over 10 years of teaching experience. I help students of all ages and levels play with confidence, groove, and musical understanding, from rock and pop to jazz and world music. My lessons are personalized, structured, and music-driven. I adapt my teaching to each student’s goals and learning style, combining solid technique, rhythm training, coordination, and real musical application. Whether you want to enjoy playing your favorite music, improve your groove, or follow a more serious academic path, I guide you step by step with clarity and motivation. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Percussion Teaching and Performance (Summa Cum Laude) and a Master’s degree in World Music Percussion. Alongside teaching, I am an active performer and have played at venues such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and the Monterey Jazz Festival. This real-world experience allows me to connect technique with musical reality in every lesson. If you’re looking for a teacher who is versatile, experienced, supportive, and truly invested in your progress, I’d be happy to work with you and help you develop your own musical voice.

Hi! I'm Demetrio, a musician and composer from Italy. From when I was 8 years old, I've been fully immersed in music, starting out with flute, to then switch to drums and to my first conservatory course in classical percussion. Already in the final periods of this study, I began to fall in love with jazz music and with the instrument of the vibraphone, and in September 2022 I moved to the Netherlands to follow my second bachelor course in the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, this time in jazz vibraphone. At the moment I'm in my second Master's year of The Hague's conservatory, on my way to graduation at the end of this academic year. In this class, you'll be able to learn and face many aspects of music, from very practical lessons on the vibraphone, crossing technique, sound producing and reading music, to the idea of playing in a band, the concept of interplay and comping. All of the topics that I present are offered to give students of any level either a solid base for music production and playing, or to consolidate even more and strenghten your skills on more advanced aspects of music. I'm very passionate about listening, sharing, directing and finding solutions to problems that anyone in a music learning journey can face, starting from myself. I'm also very patient and I provide clear and practical explanations, which I believe is very needed in such a confusing and aerial topic as music can be. See you in class! :)

Latin percussion lessons for beginning and advanced percussionists. General percussion is also welcome. For example, congas, bongos, timbales, handpans, kalimbas, and shakers. We look at specific styles such as Cumbia and build it up together so that you can play along with backing tracks or songs on your instrument.

No instrument compares to the freedom of the drums. And in this workshop we will explore new techniques for challenging rhythms, by also learning to improvise with other musicians. This workshop includes 3 individual drums lessons and a jam session.

My name is Adrian and I am a drummer with 8 years of playing under my belt, including 3 years of professional experience. I am primarily a jazz, funk, and soul drummer with a traditional education who also has experience playing in concert percussion and marching bands. I teach music theory, technique, and several styles using visual and auditory materials. However, my lessons are primarily catered towards the learning goals and musical aspirations of the student.

Musicality is a powerful weapon in the music business. As a professional drummer you will be asked to be as musical as possible whether you're in a band, you got hired for studio sessions or you're in the pit playing live music for theatre shows. In my class I offer you different topics such as giving you tips on how to efficiently memorise the music you wanna play, how to understand it and how to extend your skills while staying musical. Stretching and exercising the muscles around your wrists is something that needs to be considered as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED too. Together we will talk about different variations to straighten your drummer hands without feeling any pain. I want to get the most out of your drumming skills!

In my private lessons I place a great emphasis on feeling and experiencing rhythm. I try to address your internal metronome and teach you to count to four again. On the basis of djembe and African percussion you quickly learn how rhythm works what the building blocks? You will soon discover that it is a puzzle whose pieces you can knock.
