Our Drum Teacher

Hello, I'm Elliot Strugnell and I'm a professional drum tutor, teaching drum lessons in Fair Oak near Eastleigh, Hampshire. I've been playing drums for 14 years and I've loved every second of it. I sat and passed my Grade 8 Rock School Drum Examination in 2011, and since then I've been a professional musician, writer and teacher. I'm a co-founder of a progressive metal band called Encipher, for which I am the drummer and one of the key writers. I studied drums and drum tuition under Kevin Dredge at Garden Music School for almost 13 years before becoming a professional drum teacher/tutor myself.

"I have known Elliot for over 13 years and can highly recommend him as a professional drum tutor. Elliot has a vast knowledge and skill base and is well versed in all styles of music and drum techniques. He is a very thorough and patient teacher who understands that all students are individuals and should be taught according to their own ability and pace of learning. I would recommend Elliot to teach any level of student and he will excel in any musical and teaching situation."
Kevin Dredge, Director of Garden Music School
