About Elliott
Music is a form of transcendence for me. My studio is located in Reservoir, near the train station. I am also able to travel to you (negotiable, depending on location), though I prefer to teach from my well-equipped, vibrant studio. I hold a Working with Children's Check and sometimes work in Melbourne schools. All ages and skill levels are welcome. References and job history are available upon request.

I'm a professional drummer with 25+ years of experience playing drum kit, hand percussion, and electronic programming. In my recording studio, I compose and record original music spanning a wide range of genres, which I use to supplement my students’ lessons. I earned my Associates of Music Degree in California and my Bachelor of Music degree in Australia. I have toured extensively with bands overseas and have taught privately in schools and music shops for 10+ years.
I work with my students on a personable level based on how they learn best and what they’re interested in learning. I love to mix different teaching styles to suit the student's needs. My ultimate goal with teaching music is to help my students achieve their musical goals in a fun, natural, and relaxed way that gives them joy, confidence, and direction in their lives.
From just wanting to learn your favorite song to mastering technique, performance, recording, theory, songwriting & how to be a successful musician in the industry, I can help!

Perfect! Have had 2 lessons so far with Elliot and he has been a great teacher. He is very easy going and has a relaxed teaching style that made me feel comfortable on the drums after not having played for years. He noticed some things in my technique that need work and provided great exercises to practice that are already helping. Looking forward to more lessons!
- Elliott's response :
Perfect! Great guy and a great teacher! Elliot has very diverse professional experience and repertoire of percussive mediums that makes for interesting and creative lessons. He teaches in a structured way that fosters both technical skills as well as creativity. Highly recommend!
- Elliott's response :
Perfect! Elliot was a wonderful tutor who made me feel comfortable and at ease straight away. This was my first drumming lesson ever with very little experience on the kit, however Elliot facilitated a safe space and was able to meet me with where I'm at. He assessed my abilities straight away and provided challenging yet achievable drills and rhythms to try. He also provided great exercises to practice at home. I really enjoyed my session with Elliot and cant wait for the next one!

I have known Elliot for about a year and have collaborated doing meditation events and found home very organized and more importantly passionate about his work that shows when you work with him
Elliott is amazing, i've participated in a few of his events. He is really invested in his work, will pour in his whole heart, and i wouldn't hesitate a second to hire him as a tutor thank you for being you!
Hi. I have many dealings with Elliott both professionally and personally. He is a
wonderful person that has excellent people skills. Elliott is patient, kind and an exceptional communicator. He recently ran a sound healing event for my work place, that was a great success. I couldn’t recommend Elliott more highly.I have known Elliott since 2011. I can attest to him as both a world class musician and impeccable character.
He is a man of enormous heart, depth and dedication, a great teacher and friend.
I know he has been teaching for at least a decade.. has produced multiple albums.. is well respected in the field..
And yet he continues to work, grow and evolve. As a mentor in one’s journey with musicianship, self- discovery-through-music and just outright primal flow, Elliott is a unique and rare being..Elliott is an amazing person, talented in many areas, and incredibly empathetic and kind. His passion for music shines through, and he approaches drumming not just technically, but as a way to connect with yourself and express emotions through rhythm. Knowing him as a meditation guide and seeing how he communicates with others, I’m certain that having him as a teacher would be a gift. He creates a welcoming, attentive space, so lessons with him would help elevate your skills, build confidence, and provide a safe space in your daily life.
Elliott is an amazing teacher who helped me deepen my meditation and yoga practice. Originally from California and now in Melbourne, he brings a calm, friendly, and humble energy to every session. His mix of expertise in yoga, meditation, and sound healing creates a well-rounded and relaxing experience. I’ve learned so much from him and always feel more centered after his classes. Highly recommend!

Elliott is an extremely talented musician. He is kind and understanding. I'm sure anyone taking drumming lessons from him would benefit greatly!
Elliott is passionate and knowledgeable in meditation, sound healing and spiritual world. He is also caring, sensitive and fully enjoys what he is doing. His intuition makes his work great as he can connect to clients and know what they truly need. I enjoy every sound healing Elliott provides. It’s calm, relaxing and I can feel the body vibrations with the singing bowls. Usually I zone out when he is doing sound healing. He mixes meditation with sound healing which is the element I like most. I greatly recommend him ;)
Elliott is an exceptional musician and wonderful person. I couldn't think of anyone better to receive drumming lessons from 100 out of 10.
Elliott will meet you right where you are at, and that is where the two of you will proceed from, on a shared journey of discovery & creativity. This would be the case whether you were learning drums, or shooting hoops, watching paint dry, or mastering advanced chemistry. It's just how Elliott operates & who he is. There is only one Elliott, so experience him while you can. He's special.

JakeI highly recommend Elliott as a drumming teacher. I met him through Couchsurfing and was immediately impressed by his wisdom and insight. He creates a calm, non-judgmental space where you can fully express yourself, his creativity can definitely make learning fun and engaging.
During a session with his sound healing instruments, I had the chance to play the handpan for the first time. Even as a complete beginner, Elliott made the experience enjoyable and accessible. His patient guidance and musical knowledge helped me feel comfortable, and it turned out to be a really fun session. His passion for music and his open-minded approach make him an excellent teacher for any student, regardless of their experience level.Elliot is an amazing teacher. His lessons are always fun while helping build a strong foundation in playing and practicing the drums.
Elliott is a true spiritual leader. He is abundant in wisdom and has a soul of an angel. Not only is he trustworthy and a wonderful teacher, he is also a very talented artist and musician. I highly recommend Elliott if you are needing true guidance in your life.
Elliott is a compassionate and transformative teacher who has profoundly impacted my life over the past four years. He helped me through a dark time, empowering me to regain confidence and recognize my inner strength. As my spiritual guide for the past year, his teachings in meditation and yoga have brought me peace and a deeper sense of purpose. I highly recommend Elliott to anyone seeking personal or spiritual growth.
My experience with Elliott on a professional level and personal has always been wonderful. He offers deep understanding and you are felt at ease and comfortable to be yourself. This is so important in the work he’s involved in as it helps with communication and ultimate healing.
I played in a band with Elliott a while back and during that time he taught me an immeasurable amount about music, musicianship and collaboration so I'd highly recommend him as any kind of musical teacher.
He's also a super nice bloke with the perfect balance of calm and positive energy you want in a teacher.Elliott has an excellent way of breaking down complex musical concepts to beginners like myself. I enjoy the pace of his lessons and he is obviously very passionate about percussion and music in general. Excellent musician and teacher. Would highly recommend him to friends and family!
Elliott is a great teacher, friend and a very experienced artist. When he drums, for me it's humbling to listen to the rythm and different sounds of the drum.
He is my friend and spiritual teacher and I know him from Insight Timer app.
You can listen to his wonderful meditations and tracks that are one with nature and so calming. If you get the chance for Elliott to be your teacher, take it! 🫶
