Hi, my name’s Adam and I am the co-owner of Splinter Studios and drum tutor. 

I started playing drums at 14, which now means I have been playing for over half my life! Both my Dad and Grandad are/were drummers, so I am a third generation noise maker. 

Despite that, I taught myself by studying other drummers playing and practicing in bands. 

I have gigged hundreds of times around Europe and the UK, predominantly with my band Liberty Lies. 

With them, I have been able to record with some of the best producers in the country, tour with some of my favourite bands and play some amazing places. 

I have been teaching now since 2012 and absolutely love it. As a Drummer, my speciality is rock music but I have played a whole host of genres. I co-write music and lyrics in my band, play to a click, double-kick and use drum technology such as sample pads, so I can teach all of these up to a very good standard. 

I also read drum notation and do teach grades to those who wish to pursue them, however from my own personal experience, I wouldn’t recommend this to everybody.
