Lochie Earl Drum Lessons

Hi I’m Lochie, a passionate drummer, teacher, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and school band director.
I teach 1:1 in person drum lessons at The Confectionery Recording Studio in Newtown, rehearsal spaces around Sydney or at your home!

Over my 12 years in the teaching business I've had many success stories - testimonials available on my website.

​​Since winning the Billy Hyde International Drum Play Offs at age 13 as well as Sydney Battle of the Bands in the same year I've spent the last 17 years performing, recording and touring with over 30 bands across Australia, Japan, the US, the UK and Europe. Learning drums and making music has made life more fun than I could have imagined and there's nothing better to me than sharing that same opportunity with others!

I've had a lot of proud moments through my teaching career - seeing students excel in the studio, on stage and create and release their own music and music videos.

I’ve also developed ‘Beat Missions’ (a drumming Video Game), directed several school bands and pioneered ‘Heirs to the Tone’: A live music event where students get to perform their favourite music with professional musicians and get paid for it!

​Whether you're interested in taking your music career to the next level, keen to learn skills to connect with other musicians, want to learn how to play your favourite songs or just curious to feel what it's like to play the drums, I'd love to share whatever I have to help you on your musical journey!
