A Little Bit About Who I Am....
I discovered my love for drumming at seven years old, and over 30 years later I’m just as passionate as ever. What began as a fascination quickly grew into a lifelong pursuit of performing, studying, and now sharing everything I’ve learned through quality private tuition.
As a teacher, I am deeply committed to creating a personal, engaging, and fun learning experience for every student. My goal is to equip students with the confidence and skills to genuinely enjoy playing music - especially in live band situations. I place strong importance on ensuring each student fully understands what they are learning, so the process feels rewarding and inspiring rather than overwhelming. This understanding empowers students to explore ideas creatively and develop a musical voice that is uniquely their own.
My teaching approach is simple, practical, and 100% relevant to real musical situations. No matter your age, experience level, or preferred style of music, you’ll benefit from structured guidance, clear instruction, and my genuine commitment to your progress. With regular, focused practice, you’ll begin creating your own sound, your own ideas, and your own musical art.
At You Groove Drums, we’ve built a supportive and encouraging community of drummers of all ages. We celebrate where we are on our drumming journey while feeling excited and motivated about where we’re heading next.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of performing with a wide range of Australian recording artists and bands, including country music artists Hayley Jensen, Christie Lamb, Jason Owen, Tania Kernaghan, Katie Jayne, Missy Lancaster, Ben Ransom, Abbie Ferris, Jake Davey, and many more.
My performance experience also includes numerous corporate shows and bands such as Superstars of Country, One Hit Wonders, Last Stand – Chisel Barnes Show, The Keith Urban & Bryan Adams Tribute Show, Original Sin INXS Tribute Show, Matchbox 20 Tribute Show, Big Radio Dynamite, Wildcatz, Groovology, Hyjinx, and the Geoff Rana Trio, to name just a few.
Having performed across musicals, jazz, rock, pop, worship, tribute shows, original music, and recording studios, I’m confident I have the knowledge and experience to help guide you toward achieving your musical goals.
And if I don’t know how to play it yet - we’ll learn it together. Warren.

Need a drummer for your next gig or project ?
I am an experienced professional drummer with a genuine passion for music, performance, and enjoying the process. Every job matters, and my attention to detail - combined with enthusiasm and reliability - reflects a natural dedication to delivering the best possible performance every time.
Whether in the studio or on stage, my first priority is always to serve the song. I focus on playing only what the music requires, creating and maintaining a solid foundation, leaving space for fellow musicians, and locking in the right feel and groove - right there in the pocket.
I approach every gig, large or small, with the same level of professionalism, preparation, and commitment. I believe that great communication, thorough preparation, and having fun are the keys to a successful and memorable performance.

Have your drums tuned to perfection
Do you struggle to get your drums tuned properly?You Groove Drums can tune your kit to sound its absolute best. A well-tuned and correctly assembled drum kit doesn’t just sound better - it’s easier and more enjoyable to play.
Drum tuning is an art that many drummers avoid. It can be time-consuming, frustrating, and difficult to get right. Let me take the frustration out of the process and have your drums sounding exactly the way you want them to. I will work closely with you to achieve the tone, feel, and response you’re looking for.
While tuning generally holds for a period of time, factors such as playing style, head age, temperature, and frequency of use all affect how long it lasts. If you’d like to stay during the tuning session, I’m happy to share practical tips and guidance so you can start confidently exploring tuning on your own.
