Darren has studied under two of the principal drum tutors in the UK, namely Bob Armstrong and Dave Hassell, both are fantastic teachers and a constant source or inspiration for his teaching ideals. Much of the material used by them is present in his teaching as he believes it forms the basis of a good playing technique, irrespective of style. Darren completed his studies for a degree in Music in 2001 – graduating with first class honours.
