Drum Lessons in Amsterdam

Hi, I'm George Hadow. I've been playing drums for more than 25 years, performing in over 30 countries...and I still love it! Whether you're picking up sticks for the first time or you're an advanced player looking to refine your sound, I offer lessons tailored to your needs and goals.

My Approach

Drumming is personal--there's no one-size-fits-all. I don't follow rigid curricula unless it serves the student. If you love it, you'll play more. So we focus on what excites you and build skills through music you care about.

My Strengths

I've studied South Indian classical rhythm in depth--complex and nuanced, but I can break it down for both beginners and advanced players. I also have extensive experience with free improvisation and avant-garde music, as well as a strong background in jazz and rock.

All Levels

Never played before? No problem. I'll guide you step by step--from holding your sticks to playing your first grooves, beats, and fills. Already drumming and want to go deeper into technique, improvisation, or specific styles? We'll shape the lessons around what inspires you.

What You'll Learn 

  • Technique & stick control (also brushes)   
  • Coordination & independence   
  • Groove, feel & dynamics   
  • Improvisation & soloing   
  • Reading drum notation   
  • Playing your favorite music

Lesson Info

Lessons available in 30, 45, or 60-minute formats.

Flexible scheduling.

Drum Studio

Lessons take place either in my studio at NDSM-werf in Amsterdam or possibly at your studio/home. Online lessons are also possible. My studio is easy to reach by bike or public transport.

REVIEWS

I liked George and his style of teaching!

He always listens to the student, identifies all the problems and comes up with exercises to fix them - meanwhile not forgetting to have some fun! Would love to work with him again :) Evgeniy

George is a great drum teacher!

George is a super friendly guy who picks up quickly at what you need to improve on. He keeps the speed of the lessons high, so you keep the rhythm and can become a better drummer fast!' Guus
