More About Me
Tatjaana
Thanks again for the lesson! I have to say that this lesson was probably the best and most useful drumming lesson of my life so far. Few teachers have such well analyzed knowledge of these techniques as you do.
Marko K
Tuomas' teaching style is student-centred and clear. He shows his students what he is teaching in great detail and also tries to clarify the subject matter by explaining all the essentials. Another good thing about Tuomas' teaching is the relaxed atmosphere, which makes the drum student feel safe and at home and helps to relax appropriately. I would recommend both to the beginner and to those of us who are advanced in drumming.
Joonas K
I started to take Tuomas' lessons after turning 50 years old and after long break, in few months and then in few years, I made remarkable progress in all areas of drumming, such as rhythm, technique, coordination, sight-reading and e.g expression. He has a passion for drumming including physics, ergonomy and music itself and he has friendly and supportive teaching style that makes learning fun and enjoyable. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or advanced drummer, Tuomas can tailor his lessons for everybody's needs and goals. Athmospere is always relaxed and supportive and if do your homework, I guarantee, you will develop quickly as a drummer. I am lucky to have such a good teacher who have challenged and inspired me and helped me to reach my full potential as a drummer at my skill level. As an example he was the first one to me who explained the concept of some complex polyrhythms clearly and demonstrated also how to apply them in different musical contexts.

Tuomas has a strong grip on teaching the basics of drumming, which is what all playing consists of. You can never study them too much. From these you get gradually to more challenging things like coordination and dynamics. I highly recommend a visit to Tuomas!
Arto R
After three years of self-education, I realised that my development was too slow. I contacted Tuomas and since then, by focusing on the right things, all aspects of my playing have developed to the next level. I have also received positive feedback from my band mates. Whatever your style or level, Tuomas' lessons are like putting money in the bank! Tuomas has a great pedagogical teaching style and a sense of humour that is second to none. I can also highly recommend Routines and Fundamental Hands online courses so there is always something to practice.
Toni M
Tuomas is a professional teacher and musician by background, which is reflected in his teaching. The work done on gigs and in the studio gives the teaching a concrete touch. Tuomas has a wide range of skills to teach, from the basics to really challenging stuff. A great guy, I recommend him!
Niko K
Tuomas' teaching methods are clear and calm. He gives great reasons why things are taught. In addition, his online courses are instructive and well structured and delivered.
