Hi, my name is Sam Green. I am a drummer and tutor based in Epsom, Surrey (UK). I specialise in teaching both new students and more advanced players of any age and ability. I teach in my home studio just outside Epsom.

I am a member of the Drumsense programme; the largest and most established network of drum tutors in the UK, totalling over one hundred teachers. Our extensive syllabus covers all areas of drumming, from the very basics, right up to advanced reading and 4-way co-ordination. As a tutor, I have found this programme to be one of the most comprehensive solutions to learning drums and I have enjoyed many improvements to my own playing since discovering Drumsense.

I am a great believer in simplicity and always try to keep in mind the words of Einstein when I teach, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."
I am always refining my teaching methods and exercises to be as effective and easy to understand as possible.

Why Drum Zen?

Drum Zen encompasses two main principles: the discipline of martial arts and the meditative quality of playing any musical instrument.

Playing the drums is very therapeutic and can be a brilliant way to healthily express your emotions and energise your body and mind.

Practicing any musical instrument gives us a sensitivity and discipline that enriches all other areas of our lives. Playing the drums is truly a skill that takes a lifetime to master, but it is also one of the most rewarding and exciting instruments to learn.

To play a drum groove for the four-minute duration of an average song requires a strong clarity of mind and a healthy body. Both physical and mental wellbeing are a by-product of learning the drums

Drums are the oldest instrument on the planet, rhythm is the one language that can truly unite the world because we all 'speak' it. Sometimes the sense of rhythm will be latent in the individual but it can always be awoken!
