ABout James:
James began drumming at the age of 12 and at 16 started an HND in Modern Musicianship at Jewel and Esk Valley college in Edinburgh, passing the course with a Merit on drum kit. After the course he began playing live gigs with Glasgow band Playtone (2003 - 2010) playing hundreds of gigs all over the UK as well as shows in Tenerife, Germany, Italy and Thailand. James is currently drumming for 3 Glasgow-based band SEED and also often drums for Glasgow band Macanta. He also undertakes studio and live session work such as performing on the last ever studio album by late Scottish blues legend Tam White. Unfortunately, due to Tam's sudden passing during the production of the album it remains unreleased. Throughout August 2012 James performed at the Edinburgh Festival as part of a rock musical called 'The 27 Club' which featured music from rock stars that died at 27 such as Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison.
James began teaching in Lanark and Bathgate in 2006 but has now relocated and now only offers Glasgow drum lessons. Lessons take place in a fun, relaxed atmosphere where James will pass on a lot of the techniques/rhythms/fills he was taught at college as well many of his own. His main drumming influences are John Bonham, Steve Gadd, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, John Blackwell...plus many more. James currently has a 100% pass rate for all pupils sitting drum exams at school. If a pupil reaches the stage that they are ready to learn a song, James often lets them choose one of their favourites (as long as it's not too hard/easy). Lessons will feature techniques and styles and the fundamental rudiments required for creative and musical playing.
