Rick Lacey
Ramsbottom Drum Tuition
About me
I play on the stages at some of the biggest UK Americana, Blues and Tribute Festivals.
I have toured the UK, played in Denmark, France, and Spain, and a lot in America.
My last tour of California ended in a gig at the world-famous Whisky A GoGo
On Thursday I use the function room at the Royal British Legion in Ramsbottom. Using the upstairs room provides a private setting for your lessons. It also allows for better noise control so we don’t need to worry about the people downstairs!
I’m now really enjoying passing on some of the things I have learned.
I specialise in helping new students and developing novices. I find it very rewarding.
Some of the Artists I have worked with include
- Jason Donovan
- Curiosity Killed The Cat
- The Lol Goodman Band
- Nick Bold
- Omar
- Cleo Higgins
- Junior
- Misha B
- John Rossall’s Glitter Band

Frequently asked questions
I haven’t ever touched a Drum Kit in my life! Can you help me?
Happily! I can normally have someone play a beat in their first 30-minute session!
How long do the lessons last?
Lessons are either 30 minutes or 1 hour long.
Do I need to have a Drum Kit?
No, not at all! I have a kit in my teaching studio for people to use. You may find that practising in between lessons helps though
How many lessons do I need to book?
As few or as many as you’d like. It is all down to you. We can go through things like that at your first session.
Can you come to me?
I can but it will cost a little extra for my time and fuel.
I’m left-handed, is that a problem?
No, not at all. We can try playing right and left-handed so that we can see which is best for you.
Will I have to learn to read music?
You don’t have to no. Some people do find it helps them so we will look at what is best for you.
What standard of player do you teach?
I specialise in helping new students and developing those who would consider themselves intermediate players.
Will I have to do exams and grades?
It is entirely up to you. If you’d like to look at grades, then we can look at the Trinity grades or The Rock School Syllabus because they are both proven well-structured systems.
For any more information please call me for a chat – 07751780483. I’m quite friendly
