About us

TK Drum Tuition

I'm Theo Kay, and I bring two decades of drumming expertise to the table. My musical journey took root at the prestigious Tech Music School (BIMM) in London, propelling me into collaborations with an extensive array of musicians. This diverse experience has not only refined my drumming prowess but also enriched my studio proficiency, partnering with numerous drum brands to create engaging content. Leveraging this wealth of knowledge, I provide a holistic and customised drumming curriculum that emphasises enjoyment, cognitive development, technical skill, and sustainable growth in mastering the instrument.
