About Elliott
Music is a form of transcendence for me. My studio is located in Reservoir, near the train station. I can also 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 Associate 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 20+ years.
I work with my students on a personal level, based on how they learn best and what they’re interested in. I love to mix different teaching styles to suit the students' 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 learning your favorite song to mastering technique, performance, recording, theory, songwriting, and how to succeed in the industry, I can help!

Perfect! looking forward to lessons from Elliot, very knowledgeable and chill teacher
- Ebony came into our consultation session open and ready, even without knowing exactly what to expect, which is a great quality to have as a student. Her enthusiasm really shines through, and with the right guidance and consistency, she has strong potential to develop into a great musician.Elliott's response :
I’d be very happy to continue working with her moving forward.
Perfect! My daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting Elliott today for our introduction session to the wonderful Handpan instrument. Elliott was super friendly and easy-going, which immediately put my daughter at ease. I’m certain that having him as a teacher would be fantastic, as he clearly has a great deal of knowledge and genuine passion for music.
- Iva and Nika were lovely to have over and introduce to the handpan. There was a great level of communication about everything and I could tell that Nika was a sensitive individual with a musical mind. I hope she chooses to continue her musical studies. I enjoyed playing for them!Elliott's response :
Perfect! Elliott has been fabulous in teaching our 10 year old son drums. He is gentle and patient, and very clear with his instructions. We worked recommend him to other students.
- Chrissy's son, Ben, shows strong rhythmic awareness and a natural feel for the drum kit. Ben approaches practice thoughtfully and is developing solid technique alongside musical sensitivity. A great foundation to build from. The parents are very supportive and communicative.Elliott's response :
Perfect! My first lesson with Elliott was great. He has a lot of in depth knowledge about drumming which comes in handy for a beginner. It took me a bit to get into my own groove due to my anxiety, but Elliott was patient and acknowledged when I did a good job. I had a good time and recommend Elliott as a teacher!
- I had a great first session with Hayley in the studio today. After a bit of a delay due to a foot injury, she came in with a positive attitude and gave it her best. While she was a bit nervous at first and hard on herself at times, she pushed through and ended the lesson playing something she wasn’t comfortable with at the start — a great sign of progress. She’s clever, determined, and clearly eager to learn. Looking forward to seeing how she grows from here!Elliott's response :
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!
- Ben was a pleasure to teach in his first drum lesson. He’s an all-around good guy with a great attitude and a clear drive to grow as a drummer. Looking forward to seeing where his dedication takes him!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!
- During our initial session, Winston exhibited a commendable array of positive attributes. As both an individual and a musician, he demonstrates notable intelligence and articulateness. He possesses a clear ability to express his thoughts effectively and shows a sensitivity on the instrument that is typically not observed at his level of experience. It was a pleasure to embark on the journey of teaching Winston.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!
- Lara is an exceptional individual who demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt and acquire skills, despite limited prior training. She quickly assimilated the material and applied it to the drum kit with the proficiency of someone who has undergone extensive lessons. Furthermore, she exemplified qualities of approachability, friendliness, politeness, and enthusiasm throughout the learning process. Overall, the experience of teaching Lara was highly rewarding, and I sincerely hope she continues to pursue her studies in music.Elliott's response :

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.
