drum lab

Hi! My name is Machiel, I’ve been a drum teacher in the Netherlands for over 35 years.

I give private drum lessons through a Zoom connection for anyone who speaks English or Dutch.

I graduated with honors at Musicians Institute in Hollywood California.

I have always been very active as a professional drummer on stage in The Netherlands, all over Europe and other continents.

My teaching method has been developed over many years and has been proven successful by hundreds of students.

See you online.

A laptop or tablet with Zoom installed is enough to start the lessons from the comfort of your own home. Even a mobile phone will do the trick. Just make sure I can see you in action and of course hear you. I will do the same. The drums can be either acoustic or electronic (With a speaker). In a free trial lesson I will help you set it up. It’s a piece of cake.
