Andrew Rooney Drums

Andrew is a teacher that talks the talk but definitely walks the walk. Andrew has both an education in drumming and a massive professional gigging resume. He takes his craft very seriously and his success is proof of that. Check out his website and awesome blog to read up on some of the amazing things he has done lately. Don't be intimidated by this though as he happens to be one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. This allows for a great teaching environment where he makes you feel comfortable and enjoy what you are learning. I highly recommend Andrew as a drum teacher to people of all ages. I was an adult student of his and enjoyed his approach to the drums and knowledge he has behind him. If you are looking for a guy who has been there and done that in the drumming world then Andrew is your guy.

Andrew is a wonderful teacher and he is very bright and welcoming. I never enjoy having to miss a lesson. I’m really lucky my mum found Andrew because I think he is the best teacher anyone could have. He makes me believe in myself and has definitely made me think more positive. He lets me play music that I am into not just any old boring song. Every Wednesday I walk out of his studio with a big smile on my face and I can’t wait for my next lesson.HANNAH G age (9)

Andrew provides a positive and encouraging environment for learning the drums. Both my sons attend and are keen each week to get to their lesson. Seeing their progress on a YouTube clip has been very exciting.

Andrew is a professional drummer with great background both in music theory(Jazz Degree) and experience (played in different gigs and is still playing with his band). Though his credentials are intimidating, he is the most welcoming and most patient teacher any drummer can have. He tries to explain and answer every question that I have in a way that I can understand. He is very particular on the fundamentals in which every drummer must learn, and because of this, I noticed a huge improvement on my drumming in just two sessions with him. He always give tips on what to do and practice to improve my drumming every session. He always encourage his students and help them on their goal in the style of drumming they want to learn. He always makes our session fun but full of information. I highly recommend him as a drum teacher to people of all ages. He is the most cool and approachable drum teacher you can find.

I am just amazed by the progress my son has made since starting his drumming lessons with Andrew. It is inspiring watching them practicing a new cover and playing in unison. Andrew has been his one and only drum teacher from the start. If you want to give your child the gift of drumming, go see this man. Thank you so much Andrew!

I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a professional drummer to teach them or their kids how to play drums. It's hard to find a reliable drum teacher that doesn't look like they just escaped rehab, but Andrew is a real professional. He's university qualified (jazz drumming no less), you can see him playing rock most weekends with his covers band, and he's played musicals, shows, and cruiseships - giving him a breadth of real working experience and versatility that's rare in a drum teacher (and he's a nice guy). Very happy to recommend Andrew

My son Dylan thinks Andrew is an awesome teacher who makes learning to drum a lot of fun. Andrew encourages and motivates Dylan to practice and have fun along the way. We look forward to attending lessons every week.

Highly recommend Andrews services. He's very personable and passionate about his art. Our son is always keen to attend his lessons. He's made excellent progress in the short time that he's been attending.

Andrew is a great drum teacher for my daughter. She is inspired and encouraged through his lessons.

Andrew taught me through out school and would have to have been one of my fave teachers yet. I’m now 24, working, and hoping to get back into drumming so will most definitely be back in contact with him!
