Directions
The studio is situated on Charity Farm in Stow Maries/Top Woodham. It’s ideal for playing drums, in the countryside away from any neighbours, however it can be slightly tricky to find on the first visit. But don’t worry if you follow directions to Charity Farm, Crows Lane, CM3 8RT, you'll see signs to help you there so you should be able to find the studio no problem.

About
Want to immerse yourself in a weekend of fun, challenging and supportive drum education? Sign up to a drum camp today!
Join me for two full days of drumming education learning fresh concepts, interesting techniques and new skills to improve your drumming. Students will have an opportunity to learn new drumming vocabulary, as well as explore concepts allowing them to utilise their existing knowledge effectively.
These drum camps are built around you, with a curriculum specifically curated to help you work towards achieving your drumming goals and unlocking your playing potential. Upon completing your drum camp booking, you will be asked to fill in a carefully crafted questionnaire to help both you and I check in on your drumming journey. Think of it as a drumming MOT. Your answers will then be considered and woven into the two-day curriculum to help shape the group's collective area of focus, meet your learning needs, and help you work towards your goals.
There are 8 spaces available for each drum camp. Providing a supportive environment for all abilities, these group sessions will be packed full of fun, challenging and inclusive exercises that students can work on together. It will be a space for drummers to meet, share their experiences and develop new drumming relationships.
'Bridging The Gap’ Drum Camp
These drum camps are specifically for drummers who are between between beginner and intermediate. Perhaps you feel like an intermediate drummer in some areas but at the same time a complete novice in others? In this camp we’ll look to develop your drumming vocabulary, technique and control to help you take that next step. Studying practical and essential drum beats and fills to get you ‘gig ready’ and help raise your standard of drumming to new levels.
