Chris Kerley - Zedi Forder
Drum Tuition +
Hi I'm Chris or "Kerl" if you like! I teach drums in Surrey. I have been drumming for 25+ years alongside song writing, singing and production. I've written, drummed & sung on multiple albums & EP's and built up a strong discography and oodles of practical experience live and in the studio in genres ranging from rock/metal to electro/acoustic/pop.
The drums are the best instrument...I may of course be a little biased! I offer lessons with the aim of raising you to the level of playing your favourite songs as well as creating your own grooves. My tutoring style is informal, easy going, humorous and relaxed. I don't focus on exams and grades. I do focus on fun, fitness, motivation, band dynamics and nurturing your creativity and all at a pace you're comfortable with. My job is to teach you new techniques and inspire you to run with it.
REMEMBER - Drumming is for any age, young or old. I have students from seven to seventy! Most of my students are adults. If you can swing a stick & move your legs you can give drumming a bash! I have a full sized kit & junior sized. Want to bring a friend and share your session and have a great bonding experience? No problem!
I am enhanced DBS checked. If you'd like your child to learn the drums but feel as though they're perhaps too young or lack the patience for lessons you can always take lessons yourself and pass on what you've learnt at a leisurely pace.
Besides the obvious musical applications, drumming has a bonus. It is great exercise. Alongside the fun and fulfilment of learning the best instrument and improving your ambidexterity please remember the many healthy positives of taking up the drums, including -

What equipment do you need?
You don't need a drum kit to take lessons! (You'll use one of mine) but you will need something to practice with at home if you hope to see improvement. Practice makes perfect.
I recommend:
-
Sticks
-
Practice pad
-
Ear protection (Muffs & plugs)
-
Isolated ear buds (to listen to audio/click)
When you're suitably invested - A solid acoustic kit or an electronic drum kit (for the quieter option!)
