Hi, I'm Matt Cleary-Smith, and I have been playing since I was 12 years old, and gigging and playing shows as a paid drummer since I was 15 years old. I have also been teaching since I was 17, and went in to drum teaching as a career when I turned 30.

The systems I use and teach are strongly influenced by those I have learned by studying with multiple world class experts in drumming... Including 2 Berklee professors from Berklee college in the United States, one of which I was offered the opportunity to be a teaching assistant and freelance examiner for, for a little while after I won student of the year.

These approaches are based on those which are already battle tested, used by, and taught by the best.

I have spent over a decade testing and tweaking concepts, and making sure that the way I teach is not only as effective as possible, but is also fun, and engaging.

I believe anyone who wants to learn to play can develop incredible motivation if you learn how to develop momentum.

I don't just teach... I coach. I guide my students to build habits that inspire you to get hooked on drumming, and naturally build enthusiasm until it turns in to a lifestyle and a huge passion.

Most people think that motivation is the key, but motivation comes from small daily habits that build momentum, until practising for hours a day is as natural for you as breathing, and a joy to do.

I help my students build the right habits so resistance never gets in the way of your enthusiasm and enjoyment of learning, and you can progress not only in your drumming, but in your attitude and practise approach to achieve any goal you wish.

As a result of my proven systems, I have a whole bunch of case studies of students who have gone on to join bands and become paid as musicians, get accepted at their colleges or Universities of choice, achieve results in their progress in a fraction of the time it would normally take... For example, some of my most consistent students have gone from complete novice drummer, to achieving a Grade 5 level in less than a year, and Grade 7-8 in less than 3 years! As you can imagine, this is not a normal speed of progress. But it is doable when you have the right systems, coaching and accountability, and a willingness to stay consistent over time.

Would you like to experience results like that too?

Are you willing to apply the simple steps I would share with you consistently over a period of a year or more to get the kind of results my other students are getting?

Then I would love to meet you. I love meeting, and helping struggling drummers, and turning them in to confident, and successful drummers, by providing the direct path, and encouraging that passion, until it turns in to incredible momentum.

Ever get frustrated with the practise process? Ever wonder why you can practise something over and over, and then can't seem to flow, and in 24 hours, somehow you have forgotten what you worked on?

Ever wonder how a person can do countless repetitions of singular ideas without getting bored? The answer is creative practise. With a creative approach, you can take the same ideas and re-make them in countless interesting ways... Not only allowing you to build incredible muscle memory, but also to quickly develop your own unique voice on the drums VERY quickly.

I also have a proprietary system of HOW to memorise drumming vocabulary rapidly called "strategic recall", to make sure that what you learn or practise goes in so deep you not only can flow with the new ideas straight away, but you will get scientifically proven methods for MAXIMUM retention of what you are practising.

What would that be worth to you? Imagine how much time you could save by getting 30x the retention compared to your current approach. Can you imagine how much more fun it would be if you could make breakthroughs every single time you sit at the drum set?

This is entirely possible for you too, as all my students experience this.

My proprietary strategy is very similar to (but specifically designed for drummers) a system of learning known as "Active Recall". A scientifically proven learning strategy that gives you an unfair advantage, when it comes to learning speed.

And the cool thing is, it actually doesn't require much effort to apply, it just means you have to make some little tweaks to HOW you practise.

Then you can 30x your retention just by making these minor adjustments to your approach, and watch your confidence soar.
