Pete Friesen - The Almighty, Alice Cooper

I've been playing with Jon for over 20 years now and he is one of the most naturally talented drummers I have ever worked with. His subtly of touch and musical instincts are fantastic, and his innate groove makes him a joy to play with. You know you're in safe hands when he is behind the kit.

Tim Reynolds - Drum Student

Jon is by far the best teacher I’ve ever had. His unique ability to make academic concepts fun & simple is the sole reason I’m now able to read music.

He opened up my playing and my music tastes to make me the best I could be, understanding my challenges & coming up with innovative solutions along the way.

Had Jon not been around I wouldn’t be playing  professionally today. In short, get some lessons with Jon - he’s a very lovely man, a beast of a drummer and a teacher that’s second to none.

Jack Geary  - Drummer Maisie Peters (Ed Sheeran Support)

I studied drums with Jon from when I first began the instrument  to degree level playing. 
 
I learnt valuable skills from Jon that I apply today in a professional sense such as groove, time and feel. 

Not only is Jon a true professional in the music industry but is a lovely person to be around and for anyone wanting to study with him I guarantee you will feel at ease from the get go! 
 
I feel if I didn’t study with Jon I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today, 
 
Thanks for everything ??

Elliot Yorke - Musician - Drum Student

I first met Jon when I studied at ACM around 2012 ago and have continued to have private lessons with him since.

If you are looking for a teacher that is truly passionate about your progress as drummer then look no further. I can only wish I had studied with him from the very beginning of my drumming journey. He will push you to progress whilst remaining compassionate about your struggles.

Likewise if you need 5 mins to nerd out about Star Wars he’s your man!
