A Little Bit About Who I Am....
I discovered my love for drumming at 7 years old and am still as passionate now as I was then. With over 30 years of performing experience and personal study, that passion has now extended to sharing what I've learned by providing quality private tuition.
When it comes to teaching, I am fervently committed to providing a personal and fun teaching experience for each student that will equip them to confidently play and enjoy playing music in a live band situation. It is very important to me that each student fully understands each task, so they can enjoy the learning process and be inspired to explore what they learn in a creative way that is unique to them. I provide a simple approach to learning, using instructional content that is 100% useful in a real musical situation. Whatever style of music you want to learn or whatever your level of experience; you will benefit from what I have to share coupled with my commitment to your progress and development. With regular focused practise, you will be creating your own sound, your own ideas and making your own musical art.
At You Groove Drums, we have built a culture of drummers (of all ages) that support and encourage each other to grow and improve. We learn to feel confident and excited about where we are on our drumming time line, and even more excited about where we will be in the future
Over the years I have performed with a multitude of Australian recording artists and performing bands including: Australian Country Music artists Hayley Jensen, Christie Lamb, Jason Owen, Tania Kernaghan, Katie Jayne Band, Missy Lancaster, Ben Ransom, Abbie Ferris, Jake Davey and more. Many corporate shows and bands :- Superstars of Country, One Hit Wonders, Last Stand Chisel Barnes Show, The Keith Urban Bryan Adams Tribute Show, Original Sin INXS Tribute Show, Matchbox 20 Tribute Show, Big Radio Dynamite, Wildcatz, Groovology, Hyjinx and Geoff Rana Trio, just to name a few. Having played Musicals, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Worship, Tribute Shows, Original music and Recording Studios, I am confident that I have the knowledge and experience set you on the right path to achieve your goals. If I don't know how to play it, we'll learn it together! Warren.

Need a drummer for your next gig or project ?
I am an experienced professional drummer with an unfeigned passion for music, performance and having a great time doing it. Every job is an important one, and my attention to detail and enthusiasm is all part of a natural dedication to providing the best possible performance.
Whether it's in a studio or a live performance, my first priority is to serve the song; playing only what needs to be played, creating and maintining a solid foundation, and leaving space for the other musicians. I like to create the right feel and groove. Playing right there in the pocket. In my professional approach, every gig (big or small) deserves the best that I can give.
I believe that good communication, preparation and having fun are the keys to a great gig.
Have your drums tuned to perfection
Do you struggle to tune your drums properly? Call You Groove Drums to have them tuned to perfection and sounding their best. A properly tuned and assembled drum set doesn’t only sound better, it’s easier to play!
Tuning is an art that most drummers ignore because it can be a challenging, time consuming and highly frustrating task. Let us take the frustration from you and have your drums sounding just the way you want them to. I can work with you to get the sounds you are looking for.
Tuning will generally hold for a while; however, individual playing style, age of drumheads, temperature and frequency of use are factors that directly effect the tuning of your drums. If you want to stick around while I tune your kit, I can give you some pointers so you can start to have some fun exploring tuning on your own.
Whether it's your kit at home, or you want your kit to sound great for that up-coming gig or studio session; or the kit at your church or school needs a service.
Call me today to come in and tune 'em up.
