Always Wanted To Play The Drums?

Drumming And Want To Improve?

Live In The Croxley Green / Rickmansworth / Chorleywood WD3 Area?

I'm Toby Goodman and I love drums! In fact... I've made a career out of playing them, all over the world since the late 90s.

I've also taught at all levels (beginner - post-grad).

However... since starting a family, going away to play and teach all the time isn't ideal. I have created a studio space where you can learn how to play!

The wonders of the internet have helped me maintain students, but there is no substitute for 1-2-1 tuition.

Here's me teaching a nice Swiss chap called Daniel how to play an egg shaker!

With teaching experience of over 20 years. I've been on faculty, teaching and writing for diplomas and degrees at top London Music Colleges.

My writing has been published a number of times in drum related magazines (don't worry I won't make you read them).

I also deliver masterclasses at universities around Europe on 'Essential Percussion For Drummers'.

“Living up to his name, Toby Goodman is one of the best. A professional in the truest sense of the word, he is a master of timing and time, grounding pop music in groove. A reliable man of rhythm, a trustworthy teacher, a masterful music maker.”

— Dr Gareth Dylan Smith | Drummer / Author / Drumming Academic Legend

“As an adult learning to the play the drums for the first time, Toby has been fantastic. He has made sure I have a developed a good grasp of the fundamentals, whilst keeping my interest and motivation through constant links with popular music across different genres. I feel I have learnt as much about the whole process of creating/performing music as about drumming but, most of all, it has been great fun.”
