Robbie

Drums/Music Theory/Bandjam

Robbie is a drummer with almost twenty years of experience playing and performing in bands since the age of 14. He also has a combined total of five years spent studying Music Performance, Music Theory and Music Technology. He has achieved two HNC qualifications in Music, and continues to work on growing as a musician. This passion has granted him a wealth of experience and knowledge on many different drum styles and music genres. While studying at Edinburgh College, Robbie studied the Rock School Curriculum of Graded Drum Kit songs, and has some experience with the Trinity Music School Curriculum also.

Although primarily a drummer, Robbie’s passion for music has driven him to pick up playing the guitar, bass guitar and performing vocals on his own personal projects in his spare time, recording original music through his home studio.

For the past four years, Robbie has also played professionally in a popular wedding and function band called “The Guilty Pleasures”, focusing on classic feel good songs from primarily the 80’s and 90’s, although there is a mix of modern and older songs thrown in as well. Performing with The Guilty Pleasures has allowed for a great knowledge of performance skills, groove and feel, and most importantly, how to get a crowd dancing! It was this experience in performing with a band that inspired Robbie to want to pass on his knowledge and skills through tutoring.
