About Dominique

- What kind of experience do you have?

As a musician: I am a professional drummer who has been performing for 35 years internationally in all imaginable contexts: tours with household names, TV shows, radio shows, clubs, circus, pro marching band, functions, music festivals, jazz concerts... I established the 1st ever world record of the longest drum solo in France (French Guinness Book 1986) - 24hours 40min on the sea on a catamaran named 'Jaz'. I am fluent in most styles of music: Rock, Funk, R & B, Disco, Soul, Jazz etc. I currently manage and perform with a dance covers band, a jazz quartet and an original alternative project. As a teacher: 20+ years of teaching experience. Aside from my private practice, I have also taught drums to year 7 and 8 students at Evelyn Grace Academy in Brixton twice a week for 2 years. I also teach special needs children - Dyslexia and autism.

Ben Pearson, Jack Summerfield and Carlos Alberici are the other teachers (see our web site for more info)

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes. number 0(concealed information)3ne.Each of our teachers has one.

- Where and with whom did you train?

Kenny Clark and Dante Agostini in Paris.

- Do you belong to any professional organisations?

I am today a member of Ampband and have been a Musician Union member for more than 20 years.

- Tell me about some of your current students.

My students are great! The youngest is 4 1/2, the wisest is 76. Most of my adult students range 18-38 including 30% females and quite a few in their 50s and 60s.
For those who wish to take this route, I prepare them for the Grades 1 to 8 at Trinity College London or the Rock School.
We have had 100% success so far, 99% with merit or distinction.
Some students want to become pro-drummers, some just do it for fun in their garage, or plan to simply put together a band with friends and play in local pubs etc.
My students stay with me for a while...6, 8, 10 years... they become friends of course and I am happy to guide them whenever they consider music as a career.
About 50% start playing in a band within 2-3 years after starting to study drums at the school.
My 1st UK student is Yusseff Dayes who is the drummer of United Vibrations and played with Aloa black. He has performed at many festivals and in National TV channels here and abroad (late with Jools Holland (UK), Nagui (France) etc. He also got a full page feature in Drummer Magazine UK in January 2011.

I, and 6 other drum tutors, teach drums ONLINE and in our state-of-the-art DRUM STUDIOS in Penge - SE20,. I own and manage The School of Rhythm which I created in S E London in 2001. Most of our students follow us online during lockdowns. Our system is very well set up and quite efficient. Online drum lessons can give excellent results. We totalise close to 1300 hours of online teaching at todays' date (Nov 2020), and have prepared online students for Trinity College and Rock School grades with 100% success (all with merit or distinction). All our teachers are DBS verified and we have of course full liability insurance.
COVID-19:
During epidemic or pandemic, we have a strict 'Covid Protocol' which our teachers apply verbatim. The studios are completely sanitised every week by a professional and each teacher maintain the equipment and door handles etc. clean and disinfected several times DAILY.

I personally have been teaching drums for 30 odd years...
It is a challenging but also a fun, wonderful...absolutely fantastic instrument.

Students age range: 5 to 75

A student of Kenny Clark and Dante Agostini in Paris, I have been the founder and manager of the largest private music school in France - 1982-1992.

I am the author of 2 drum books (in French language) which have sold several thousand: 'La Methode' and 'B.A. BA Batterie' and of an extensive course about rhythm: 'Opening Number 1'.

Plenty of buses are stopping at our doors making it easy access for students living in Sydenham, Lewisham, Brockley, Bromley, Croydon, Camberwell, Greenwich, Earn Hill, Beckenham, Penge, Earn Hill, Tulse Hill, Peckham, Brockley, Dulwich, etc. I am open to other local schools or community projects who wish to offer top professional drum tuition.
