About me

Hi, my name is Michael Beckwith.
I have been playing & teaching drums for a number of years now as a result of meeting a very fine person Mr Ronnie Bottomley, who was good enough to pass on the knowledge he gained through his career playing with numerous stars and great people, he also became a fine teacher at Leeds University.
My first teaching experience at the Musicians Centre, Keighley, was where i learned what works and what doesn't! This is of the utmost importance! when teaching drums.To learn drums you need a pad or snare drum/ ideally a starter level drum kit & a pair of drum sticks. Please see pictures below for guidance. I can teach most Styles/ Grades/ How to read drum music, I can also help with GCSE & have helped achieve a Distinction!! With 25 years in the business, I will give you a good foundation for becoming the drummer you desire to be, but I must stress if you do not practice you will not make progress.
