"Spike is one of the finest teachers I know. I remember well the lessons I had with him many years ago and still use a number of his ideas in my own teaching methods. Great drummer, great teacher, always top of my recommended tutors list."
Dave Sole. Proprietor Mad About Drums
"Lessons with Spike were both inspiring and enjoyable. Spike helped me to become the player I aspired to be and I still love to chat and trade Ideas with him even now. Spike is a drumming institution in this town and will always support his pupils and turn up at their gigs and I’m sure his enthusiasm for drumming and music will be passed on to all his future students for years to come."
"P.S. Did I mention he’s a blinding player!"
Paul Blant - Fleeting Minds, The Mighty Quinn, Citizen Smith & Manager of Live Music Peterborough
"I am a complete newcomer to drums & drumming but Spike's infectious enthusiasm & knowledge
on drumming has over only a few lessons, dramatically improved my technique.
I am now a committed drumming fanatic!"
Chris Dawson. Age 45. Oundle
"I have done drums since I was 5 years old & I am now 10. I have done
things I didn't think I would ever be able to do.
Bradley Caston. Age 10. Market
Deeping
I am Bradley's dad Mark Caston & just want to say what Bradley has achieved in
5 years is beyond belief. From a young age it was pointed out Brad had a talent & Spike's
boosted Brad's ability & understanding in music.
As a parent with 4 children
I can see Spike's attitude in teaching music is second to none & have recommended
him to a dozen budding drummers. It's a big comfort to know that the relationship
(friendship) between Brad & Spike is like family. Who knows, I probably have
learnt a bit too!!"
Mark Caston. Market Deeping
"I have been having lessons with Spike for almost 10 years now & if it wasn't
for his teaching techniques I wouldn't be doing everything I'm able to do today.
I am still having lessons & even after all this time he still finds ways to really
push my playing, (never thought I'd be playing & enjoying intricate jazz patterns & coordination
for instance). Top player, top teacher, top man!"
