Please aim to arrive 5–10 minutes early so you can get upstairs, settle in and start your lesson on time.

Lea Bridge is the closest station, approximately an 11-minute walk from the studio.
The studio is upstairs, via 2–3 flights of stairs, and there is no lift. If stairs are difficult, please contact Drum Break before travelling to discuss access.
Look for the large ‘Leyton Industrial Village – Argall Avenue’ sign. Enter the estate, continue down the drive and follow the signs for Leyton Studios, Unit 10B.
You can briefly drop off directly outside Unit 10B. There is no parking at the studio entrance.

Open map and directionsBring a refillable water bottle. The studio sinks are not suitable for drinking water.
Sticks are provided. You're welcome to bring your own favourite drumsticks if you have them.
Drums are loud. If you already use earplugs or ear defenders, bring a pair you find comfortable. Hearing protection is recommended.
Optional: bring a song, beat or something specific you'd like to work on. Coming without a plan is absolutely fine.
Wear something comfortable that lets you move freely, plus comfortable flat shoes for the pedals. The building can feel cool in winter, so an extra layer is useful.
No performance pressure. We'll start from scratch, return after time away or develop your technique at your own pace. Each one-to-one session is shaped around what you want from it.
There is seating in the studio, clean toilets with multiple cubicles and kitchen facilities with a fridge, tea and coffee. We can take sensible breaks whenever needed.
If you cannot find Unit 10B, call or text the studio number. Allow a few extra minutes for the walk from parking or Lea Bridge and for the stairs up to the studio.
