“Tom has been teaching me to play the drums for seven years. I appreciate his teacher empathy - he is always able to explain technique and rhythms to me so that I understand, remember and play correctly. I enjoy his lessons, they are lively and varied.”

"African drumming is an activity I got into when I was feeling miserable. I expected to be able relax and stop thinking about the stress that surrounded me. My expectations were more than met, there was reason to laugh at my own performance, and to appreciate where the teacher and the other course participants had taken me. Tomas is one of the kindest teachers I have ever met. His "O.K." and "Alright." sounds even when the rhythm is not quite O.K. and is encouraging even when you don't have much encouragement for yourself. It's a shame to miss it. I highly recommend it."

“The drumming course with Tom has definitely become my favourite hobby in my entire life so far. And I took a lot of classes in my youth😊 Tomáš is extremely kind and patient, he teaches with humour and thoroughness. He is a very talented, brilliant, and incredibly lively drummer himself. My only sincere regret is that it took me so long to discover Tomas and to come to drum with him."

"The drumming lessons with Tomas are amazing. The lesson goes by fast, you don't even know how. Tomáš breaks down each rhythm into parts and explains everything (even repeatedly). During the lessons you will make new brain connections and find that you can use your left and right hemispheres at the same time. You will leave the sessions happy and full of energy. You'll just wonder why you didn't start earlier. Bonus: in addition to the positive effects on your mental health, drumming also has a positive impact on your physical health - the vibrations help relieve stomach aches, for example (tried and tested firsthand)."
