Mike Glozier | Pro session musician and private teacher Have you ever seen a drummer reading sheet music?
Me neither. How many of your favourite songs use paradiddles? Nope? Same. What about sight reading and theory? Yawn. So let's skip 'traditional drum lesson filler' and get on with the good stuff. |

Your Roadmap
Goal : Be able to play along with any song in seconds.
1. Master The 'Money Beat'
The Money Beat is the most famous beat of all time - named so as it appears on so many hit records. 2. Upgrade It
Upgrade to level 2 and 3 of the Money Beat, adding extra notes and moving to the ride and crash. 3. Move Around The Kit
Add fills to move around the kit and link up different beats. 4. Add Syncopation
Upgrade to level 4 and 5 of the money beat, incorporating more advanced 'syncopated' notes. 5. Master Extra Styles
Add Punk, 16th, Shuffle and Odd Time Signatures to cover all remaining areas of popular music.
Goal : Master your favourite songs note-for-note.
Song Library
Choose from a library of 200+ of the best drum songs ever written (rated difficulty level 1 - 9) or request your own.
Goal : Progress to a professional standard.
1. Technique
Refine your technique, ergonomics and posture. Learn 3 point grip to play faster, louder and more precisely. 2. Timing
Good can always be better. Learn the exercise that will turn your brain inside out to create machine-like consistency. 3. Chops
Every player needs a bag of tricks they can pull from. Let’s master flowing with the big five - Bonhams, Hertas, Crosses, Quads and Sweeps. 4. Speed
Powerful, perfectly controlled singles and doubles around the kit separate the best from the rest. Learn how fly around the kit with lighting speed and precise control. 5. Technicality
Master pure linear and linear-layered playing. Go beyond the Chaffee method and learn how to improvise and flow with the Linear Toolkit. |
FAQWhat ages do you teach?
• Adult Ideal age • Age 13+ Ideal age • Age 9-12 Core Lessons available for those that want to start now. • Below Age 9 Wait until older. Basics Lessons available for those that are desperate to start now, but are not recommended. What about grades?
There's far more to drums than passing exams. However, if want to take grades I'll help you do them right. Pass rate 100%. But isn't notation important?
Notation is just a way to remember what to play. It's the playing it that counts. That's why I use simple Beat Grids instead of traditional notation. They're faster to read (learn in minutes, not years) meaning you can focus on playing - not paperwork. The only place I teach traditional notation is where it's specifically required - such as in grades. Where are you?
I'm on the edge of Benson, Oxfordshire - near the RAF base. I'll send through my full address to you after you get in touch below. Are you DBS checked?
Yes. Tap enlarge. (I've obscured my date/place of birth as these are some of my banking security questions!)
