Dye House Drum Works

I've known Lee for over 20 years, both as a player and in the retail side of drums. He has always been very helpful, supportive, trusting and keen. If he hasn't got it, he'll get if for you - and quick! It's great to see he has such a professional studio in the heart of Leicester and what's more - the ONLY dedicated drum sales department in the area! If you're thinking of trying out drums for the first time, or you're in need of some new kit - go to Lee. You won't be disappointed.

Although technically I am writing this from the viewpoint of being an ex-student of Lee's, I now count him as a colleague and a friend. All of which, I am extremely proud. In my capacity as a professional drummer, musician, and teacher my review would be no different. Lee has been responsible for some of Leicester's finest drummers and musicians, his influence as a teacher, mentor, musician and all round good egg can be spotted all over the Leicester music scene. His dedication to learning/teaching has been outstanding, I still have my handwritten manuscripts from my drum lessons with him from (ahem... we wont talk about dates) - they are still relevant and I still refer to them with my own teaching and technique. I remember my first lesson with fondness and affection, and the day I first crossed Lee's path has completely shaped my career and life. His experience in retail and teaching has made the DHDW an inevitable venture that will certainly be successful. Lee's relaxed approach will make EVERY student that walks through the door welcome and want to learn, getting the best support with a lovely environment to develop in. Lee's retail and product knowledge will ensure his shop will be stocked with excellent essential equipment to meet the needs of any drummer who is taking the role seriously. (he'll give ace advice too) Overall, I couldn't recommend this whole package of teaching/learning/retail highly enough. Every drummer who wants good guidance and support should certainly check this facility out.

In my opinion, Dye House Drum Works is one of the best places to study in Leicester. With a location not too far from the centre, great facilities such as up-to-date drum kits, a drum store for all your drumming needs, and a relaxed, friendly environment to learn in. I have studied with Lee for about 5 years now, and each lesson I have with him I have enjoyed and can take something new from it. A great variety of lessons are available, from grade work to nailing that groove from your favourite song. Lee has been a brilliantly inspiring tutor over the years, I don’t think I could ask for anything better! :)

What can I say about the Dye House Drum Works? I started going in February 2016. As ‘a more mature’ student I was quite apprehensive about taking on learning an instrument I last played properly when I was 18. I needn’t have worried. Lee is extremely welcoming and makes you feel right at home. Not only is he a brilliant drummer he is also an excellent teacher. Something I think that is evidenced by the broad range of ages and abilities that learn at the Drum Works. He follows the Rock School syllabus, which from my perspective is fantastic. The Rock School course provide a progressive and structured way to learn the drums; always challenging but never daunting. Thanks to Lee’s teaching I have already passed one exam with a ‘distinction’ and I am soon to take my next. So no matter what age you are, if you are looking for a fantastic drum teacher, based in a great location with brilliant facilities, look no further than the Dye House Drum Works.
