Looking for an experienced private drum teacher? I teach drums one-on-one in both Leiden and Katwijk aan Zee. I strive to keep my lessons as effective and enjoyable as possible. During the lessons we focus on different rhythms, fills, drum techniques, music notation and how to practice and be creative. Of course we also play songs and you are welcome to suggest songs you want to learn yourself. Once you've mastered a song we'll make an audio recording for yourself to reflect on and to share with others. On Mondays and Wednesdays I teach drums in Leiden, on the other days you can follow my lessons in Katwijk.

Roberto: “I strongly believe that a good teacher is the one who can bring out and develop the potential and personality of the student without locking him in books, notions and unnecessary mental cages, traps in which it is very easy to fall”. Graduated in classical music as bass-baritone, he worked for 10 years as a soloist and chorister in many productions and with internationally renowned conductors. He attended the last year in vocal jazz at the Royal Conservatoire of Den Haag and regularly performed with Big bands as a crooner and in parallel, as a singer-songwriter, in his Italian pop-swing project.

Les wordt gegeven op locatie of thuis (indien je beschikt over een drumstel), en je eerste les is altijd gratis, omdat je moet kunnen bepalen of je drummen leuk vindt en je mij als leraar wilt. . Drumles (geven) is altijd leuk én leerzaam. Je leert naast techniek (de juiste (zit)houding, stokbeheersing en de 'rudiments - basispatronen zoals de bekende 'roffel' (double-stroke-roll) en de 'paradiddle' -, ook hoe belangrijk tellen, dynamiek, noten lezen en timing is. Je zult ze immers allemaal nodig hebben als je (met een bandje of bijvoorbeeld louter voor je zelf) verder wilt komen. - Hoelang duurt het voordat ik een drummer ben? Twee antwoorden: een paar uur, en een heel leven. Je zult zien dat je binnen no time hele leuke dingen kunt spelen, maar ook dat topdrummers in de wereld, zoals Phil Collins, Cesar Zuiderwijk, Dave Lombardo of Simon Phillips elke dag nog nieuwe dingen leren (en gelukkig maar). - Ben ik dan al te oud om te starten? Te oud ben je nooit, - Heb ik wel ritmegevoel? Ritmegevoel kun je leren. Ik heb het nog nooi iemand NIET kunnen leren. - Is er een beste drummer in de wereld? Het gaat om plezier, en er is geen podium of een medaille, alleen duizenden collega's die allemaal erg goed hun best doen. - Is drummen alleen iets voor mannen? Mooi niet! Kijk maar eens naar Sheila E. of Cindy Blackman ;)
