Testimonials

"My son is thriving at Drummers Academy of Music in Letchworth. He has been attending weekly lessons for a few years since being an absolute beginner and has sailed through the grades with the guidance of the professional drumming teachers. I will continue to recommend this venue for all ages and abilities."
Suzie Godfrey
"My son has been attending Drummers Academy for a few years now and enjoys his lessons and practice. The team have adapted to his needs, been kind and understanding, pushed and encouraged and made the whole process fun. He looks forward to lessons and for him drumming plays an important part of his life, more than learning an instrument. The team are terrific, talented, friendly and I would recommend them to anyone."
Steve Andrews
"My son has been attending lessons here for the last few weeks as a complete beginner. He absolutely loves it and his teacher has been brilliant. We’ve been really impressed with the progress he’s made already. He looks forward to the lessons each week. Highly recommend."
Sam Cooke
"These guys teach my son drums, they are totally professional but create enjoyment from music which has led to us continuing for a number of years. They are the best"
Jim Gardner
"Both my son & I have been taking lessons with John & Tristan over the years.. They are both very knowledgable & make learning drums more fun than it already is! Studios & facilities are exceptional too. Worth every penny!"
Thulsi Crosina
"My lessons are one of the highlights of the week! My teacher is awesome (Ive some one-offs with other teachers here and they've been great too). I'm an adult, and a music fan, trying to get serious on this great instrument. This has been the perfect place, I've learned loads and enjoyed it so much."
James Stevenson
"My son has been learning to play the drums for several years now. I also joined with him (I practice but no longer have lessons) and highly recommend the studio. Tris gets a special mention for his dedication and passion to helping others learn. Good to also see the studio expand their offering with supplementary online lessons, studio sessions, workshops etc."
Rakesh Patel
