Of course. How about. ‘I love seeing the impact learning drumming has had on Sam. He has gained in confidence and expanded his love of music. The fact he has been able to perform to complete songs for his friend and school has really helped him.

Rebecca- Leo.

 

Had a chat with Leo. He says: I really enjoy lessons with Rick - he's enthusiastic and makes it fun. I feel I've learnt a lot of rudiments and think my coordination has improved. Rick also helped me learn some pieces for an audition for a jazz band - I got through and now play for the band. Doing lessons over Skype works well and the hour goes by very quickly.

 

 

Caroline/ Jude.

 

 

My son Jude has been attending drumming lessons with Richard for 18 months now.  Since he began his lessons, he has achieved so much and Jude’s skill level is really phenomenal considering the short time he has been playing and I believe this is due to Richard’s teaching  method and understanding.  I cannot recommend Richard enough and I’m so glad he was recommended to us as it’s now part of Jude’s life which is amazing and he thoroughly enjoys his lessons and really looks forward to them each week.

So had my first lesson in 24years with Jupp. I say my first lesson, been following his bands work and always loved the groove, feel, power & creativity of his playing. Turned up and there is a drum studio/grotto in his back yard! Straight to work we go after a couple of ice breakers and a killer brew (always important) from the get go I’m having my arse handed to me with something as simple as doubles an paradiddles, swapping the leading hands and incorporating patterns on my feet. I’ve always been a little afraid of having lessons, worrying if I’ll turn up on the day type of nerves. But Jupp made me feel right at home and comfortable. The past few weeks I have been implementing these new techniques I’ve learned (literally 3 simple ideas) and they’ve really opened up my playing and improved it ten fold! I didn’t realise this until my bands mates turned round and said they noticed there is a more honest power in my playing now rather than me just hitting hard as possible. Seriously, get in touch with the big man I assure you it will be the best idea you’ve had since that stupid hi hat idea you had that your band are still crucifying you for haha x

Rick Jupp’s knowledge of drumming together with his many years as a professional drummer was a major decision when selecting a tutor. I was certainly not disappointed. The sessions flew by as I was wrapped in a sea of creativity, fun and excitement, learning new beats, rhythms and coordinations.

I simply can’t praise him highly enough. A truly amazing and inspirational guy.
