Drum teacher to the stars...

With a continued belief that drumming makes people happy, particularly in these often harsh times, and can do a lot of good for charity in the process, Paul is on a mission.

The plan is simple: Paul wants to give 100 celebrities a 30-minute drum lesson. Ideally, these celebs will have no drumming experience whatsoever...can Paul make absolutely anyone into a drummer, in just half an hour? After the (free, obviously) lesson, the guest will be asked to sign the bass drum head - this will be auctioned at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2023 with all money going to The Trussell Trust - an amazing charity who do wonderful, worthy things, helping support the food banks in the UK.

We’ll also have a GoFundMe page for the project for anyone wishing to contribute with all money raised split between The Trussell Trust, Shelter and Wintercomfort (Cambridge). Anyone who does chip in will naturally be treated to treats - exclusive photos from the lessons, that sort of thing.

Together, with drums and a slightly over-caffeinated teacher, we can make a difference!

It feels like a win-win...stars get the chance to learn a new instrument in the hands of an experienced teacher, Paul has a lot of fun, very worthy charities hopefully make LOTS of money. Unlike a reality TV show or such like (this will not be filmed, for starters), Paul is not out to challenge (or mock) his new drummers, he genuinely wants to test his teaching skills and will be as positive and as supportive to his new ‘students’ as possible. All in all, a happy experience all round!

But can Paul find 100 celebrities to teach by August 2023? Can he really be the DRUM TEACHER TO THE STARS?
