Sick of losing focus and trying every drum exercise you can find on YouTube?
You know that you need to practice but it's hard to focus on what it is you need to do. You're lacking the motivation and accountability to make it happen. I'll keep things simple, keep you on track and focus on results. I do all of the workouts myself so join along with me and let's do this together!

FILLS
Here’s the thing - building your core skills isn’t rocket science…
…but it does take a process to build momentum for the path of improvement.
If you can’t do a single paradiddle at your desired tempo, you’ll be restricted as to how far you can take a double paradiddle, paradiddle diddle etc.
You can’t play a fast flowing syncopated bass drum part if you don’t have your doubles on the foot up to scratch.
You need a firm grip on moving a simple fill around the toms before you can take it to the next level.
It takes learning the core skills to build a foundation that you can develop and progress your skills. If you get confident with these, it will boost your learning in other areas opens the doors to becoming a better drummer. You can get in more quality practice in less time for better results, simply by showing up and doing these workouts.
These core skills work for any musical style. So if it works, why aren’t you doing it? If you’re ready to get on track, get focused and achieve the next level in your drumming, then come and join me for my….

What is keeping you stuck?
INFO OVERLOAD
There’s so much information out there on the internet, you’re overwhelmed with what to do. With so many options, you’re always looking for the next ‘thing’ that will take your playing to the next level without sticking to anything enough to nail it down.
CONFUSION
You aren’t sure what you need to do as you’re hitting a brick wall with your progress. What should you practice? How should you practice? How long do you need to practice for?
SCHEDULING
You need a practice routine that works into your schedule and allows for consistency. It’s too easy to tell yourself how busy you are and don’t have the time to practice so you end up not doing anything. It’s easier to watch someone on YouTube and think that you’ll get better from watching the video.
I hear these challenges all the time.
I meet passionate students that are full of enthusiasm and ready to move forward with their drumming, but are struggling to break through the barriers in their playing.
...let's fix that.

About me
I’m Dr. Grant Collins and I’m here to help you reach the next level in your playing.
I’ve been fortunate to have been a professional musician for over 30 years. Yes, this has been my full time career for this long. My background allows me to relate to a variety of different students and their origins on the drums. I started without lessons, just listening to and working out what drummers were playing on my favourite records.

My origin as a professional musician was playing in a full time professional covers band. This is a great learning platform for any musician. We had a huge repertoire of songs and I would constantly have to learn new songs every week as the latest hits would come out. I learn’t everything by ear so this taught me a great deal about hearing and understanding what the drummer does in a song and how song writing structures work. I began to realise what the better drummers were doing and how they shaped their drum parts to support the song. I was very meticulous in learning the material and would sit down with headphones, going over each bar, so that I had every single hi hat opening, ride bell and other parts so I could be as close to the original drum part as possible.
As I progressed with my learning, I started looking at doing formal studies to advance my musical skills further. I started to audition at conservatories and universities. Unfortunately my music theory skills were well down in comparison to my drumming skills so I was unsuccessful in my first attempts. I then started to get music theory lessons and after 3 years of auditioning, I was accepted to do my Bachelor of Music. I’ve since gone on to become a Doctor of Music so I have the formal qualifications as well as my on the road experiences to relate to both sides of the spectrum. I’ve also been a conservatorium lecturer and have written course curriculums for subjects so have the skills and know how to structure a course.
As well as that, I’ve travelled around the world doing concerts and also for my sponsors doing hundreds of clinics, masterclasses and percussion festivals over the past 25+ years. I’ve also done countless hours of private tuition for a wide range of students doing everything from playing in local bands to going to university to winning national drum competitions.
I’ve spent an innumerable number of hours exploring and discovering this awesome instrument and love to share not only the what, but also the how and why on all things drums. I love the creative aspect of music and like to look at ideas from a different perspective. Doing this helps us to discover alternative ways to play things and leads to finding your own individual voice on the instrument. I’m super excited about putting these programs together and would love to be able to transform and inspire your personal music journey.

I've been teaching drums for over 25 years and have worked with thousands of students ranging from beginners to full-time professionals and across many different styles of music. One of the main difficulties I encounter with students is maintaining a focused practice regime. Students tend to drift in and out of exercises meaning that they cover a lot of different things but don’t actually nail down any of them.
My goal is to help you stay on track and come out the end with new and concrete skills.
I want to show and help you to nail down exercises that will help to develop your core skills, no matter what level or style of music that you want to do. I can help you along your journey and assist you in becoming a better drummer. I want to not just tell you what to do, but to show you how to go about developing your skills as I do it myself.
