Alex Jackson - Drummer / Tutor

drums

Hello! I am a drummer and drum tutor based in West Sussex. I grew up in a musical family and have played drums for over 15 years. My love for drumming started whilst I was at school and I went on to study drums at the Academy Of Contempory Music in Guildford. Since studying drums, I have played in a number of function bands, the most recent being Strobe.

I offer one to one tutoring or group sessions. If you have a kit at your house I can come to you otherwise I have a teaching studio at mine. I cover many areas of drumming, including - grades, style, technique and time keeping. I can also set up microphones to record your drumming, It always helps to listen back and look closer at what we can work on with your playing. My lessons are fun and stress free so you can enjoy the time you spend behind the kit! If grades are what you want to do, I will supply all material needed in which to take the exam.

I have a wealth of live drumming experience. Since the age of 15 I have been playing in my church worship group, which has more recently brought opportunites for me to play at large conferences ranging from 500-4000 people. This has had a massive influence on my drumming abilities. It has also brought forward the use of Ableton Live and Click track of whch i am now very confident in, as well as the use of using elctronics within my drum kit.

I also play in a funcion band called Strobe, we are based in the South East of England and we are very busy. We have worked with some large and respectable companies when doing corperate events and also a vast amount of weddings. www. strobeband.com. You will find some audio and video of me playing on the above website

I am commited to being an easy going, friendly, reliable and professional musician. I am a quick learner and click–friendly. Drumming is my passion, which pushes me to strive for excellence in my playing. I am based in Horsham, West Sussex, but I am availbale for work throughout the UK.

I have many years of function band experience, and have no issue stepping in at short notice if this is required.

I am available for session work including: recording sessions, function work, dep work, musicals and stage productions.
