About Me
My name is James Piddington, a Bloxham-based drum tutor offering one-to-one drum lessons in Bloxham, Oxfordshire, and nearby areas. I specialise in rock, metal, and pop drumming, with additional tuition in blues, dance, and fusion. Currently studying Music Performance and Production at Stratford-upon-Avon College, I have over seven years’ experience and have performed at live shows across Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.  This live experience shapes my lessons, giving students practical skills from day one. 

I teach students aged 7+, from beginners to developing players, covering drum kit setup, timing, rhythm, live performance preparation, and adapting to different styles. My supportive, stress-free approach ensures steady progress and confidence behind the kit.  At JP Drumming, my Bloxham drum lessons are designed to make every session engaging and productive. Each beginner and developing student receives guidance tailored to their skill level, ensuring they progress at a comfortable pace. I focus on practical techniques that students can use immediately in their practice. 

By choosing my Bloxham drum lessons, students gain confidence, explore different styles, and enjoy learning drums in a supportive, one-to-one environment.  Whether your goal is to master your first song, improve your technique, or prepare for graded exams, I provide the support and encouragement you need to achieve lasting progress in Bloxham and across Oxfordshire.

30 Minute Lesson - £15

The first lesson focuses on rhythm, timing, and musical ability while identifying each student’s learning style. Sessions are relaxed, fun, and confidence-building, often ending with the chance to play along to a favourite song. This creates a positive starting point and clear direction for future lessons.

45 Minute Drum Lesson - £25

In this session, we build on rhythm and timing while exploring technique, coordination, and musical expression. With extra time, students can dive deeper into exercises and develop stronger playing habits. Lessons remain relaxed, supportive, and enjoyable, often finishing with the opportunity to jam along to a track of their choice. This extended format gives students a solid foundation and greater confidence moving forward.

1 Hour Drum Lesson - £30

A full hour allows for in-depth focus on rhythm, technique, and style while giving time to tackle specific goals such as sight-reading, improvisation, or preparing for live performance. The longer format also makes space for extended practice, feedback, and playing along to several songs. Sessions are relaxed, engaging, and highly productive, providing a complete learning experience that builds skill, confidence, and musical understanding.
