About Me

Hello this is Pritam. I'm a drums and world percussion teacher, educator and composer from the last 20yrs. Here's some information about my journey so far. If you're interested then feel free to connect me.I'm a world percussionist. I play for my Creator. His gift ; My language- MUSIC. To start with, Music is my premier and only way to start a conversation with the world. I am born and bought up in Kolkata dated 20th September,1984. When my cradle of life is Kolkata, rhythm comes to me like a friendly neighbour. My early stages have always being understanding rhythm but my thirst for the awareness and knowledge of this beautiful phenomenon of life led me to the doorsteps of my Guruji Mr. Monojit Dutta-the only Latin Jazz percussionist in India. I witnessed and learned, things changed when I,realized rhythm is not everything- it's just the core-techniques, sensibility, sense, sentiments, tradition and on top of everything having the loyalty to fun while playing,to taste each line and bends and notes. While discovering this, my internal search led me to the land of percussions. I play world percussions and drums has been my early companion. I also share my knowledge through teaching music. Experimentation comes as a ground rule for me as a percussionist. A creation with philosophy and most importantly a feel of texture, breathing essence and to taste the sentiments have being my priorities while creating my music.

Apart from teaching the most amazing latin rhythms, In my lessons I apply the stick control book, to achieve a good technique, and at the same time I teach coordination and grooves, with the best methods and books from the most qualified drummers.

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,

Stuart

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.)

A rocker and metalhead at heart, but also a fan of various styles (80s pop, funk, blues), I've been playing drums since I was a teenager... 20 years ago already! Since then, I've played in a band (ex-Minded of Heart), performed on stage (Divan du Monde, La Cigale), composed and recorded hundreds of songs, and today I'd like to share my experience with you.

My method is simple, dynamic and personalized: we will choose pieces together according to your tastes, then we will work on the techniques and skills necessary to master them.

I will help you find your own style, understand the basics of rhythm, accompany a song, play in a band, go on stage... and much more.

Among my influences are artists such as Pantera, The Beatles, AC/DC, Linkin Park...

Please feel free to write to me now with any questions.
Tell me about your influences, your favorite drummers and bands, what made you want to play drums...

English:
As a teacher, I always work from the needs and level of the student. I believe learning music should be fun as well as practical, so I combine technique with direct application in songs and playing with other instruments. My method focuses on gradually building control and confidence behind the drum kit.

A typical lesson begins with a short warm-up and technical exercises (sticks, coordination, timing). After that, we work on grooves or fills, often using a play-along track or music chosen by the student. In band lessons, the emphasis is on playing with other instruments, rehearsal structure, and stage presence: how to play tightly together, present yourself on stage, and how to deal with issues that might occur during your performance.

My specific skills lie in modern genres such as (indie) rock, metal, pop, and groove-based styles. As a mentor and an active performer in several bands, I can share not only technical knowledge but also stage experience, rehearsal tips, and help with gear recommendation and learning about auxiliary aspects (recording drums, stage tech, etc).

The lessons are intended for students and young musicians of all levels—from absolute beginners learning their first beat to advanced players refining their technique or bands who want to take their rehearsal and live performance to the next level. Group lessons and beginner band coaching are also available, where we work together on ensemble playing, communication, and performing.

Nederlands:
Als docent werk ik altijd vanuit de behoeften en het niveau van de leerling. Ik geloof dat muziek leren zowel leuk als praktisch moet zijn, dus combineer ik techniek met directe toepassing in liedjes en het samenspelen met andere instrumenten. Mijn methode richt zich op het stapsgewijs opbouwen van controle en zelfvertrouwen achter het drumstel.

Een typische les begint met een korte warming-up en technische oefeningen (stokken, coördinatie, timing). Daarna werken we aan grooves of fills, vaak met een play-along track of muziek die de leerling zelf kiest. In bandlessen ligt de nadruk op samenspel met andere instrumenten, repetitiestructuur en podiumpresentatie: hoe je strak samen speelt, jezelf op het podium presenteert en hoe je omgaat met problemen die tijdens een optreden kunnen ontstaan.

Mijn specifieke vaardigheden liggen bij moderne genres zoals (indie) rock, metal, pop en groove-gebaseerde stijlen. Als mentor en actief performer in meerdere bands kan ik niet alleen technische kennis delen, maar ook podiumervaring, repetitietips en hulp bieden bij materiaaladvies en kennis over aanvullende aspecten (drums opnemen, podiumtechniek, enz.).

De lessen zijn bedoeld voor studenten en jonge muzikanten van elk niveau—van absolute beginners die hun eerste beat willen leren tot gevorderde spelers die hun techniek willen verfijnen, of bands die hun repetities en liveoptredens naar een hoger niveau willen tillen. Groepslessen en coaching voor beginnende bands zijn ook beschikbaar, waarbij we samen werken aan samenspel, communicatie en optreden.
