Beginners Drum Tuition

Rhys's love of drums started as a child and he has toured throughout Europe as a drummer in various forms, from rock bands to orchestral pit work for many years.
During this time he also developed his career as a singer and still performs weekly across South Wales. However, his love for drumming has never ceased, and he has returned to this recently, sharing his albeit "slightly rusty but vast" knowledge, skills & experience with beginner drummers.
Music Production & Recording- Rhys Phillips
Rhys, Groupeze founder, started out as a drummer, fell in love with recording, and just ended up songwriting.
His love of songwriting has never ceased, which led into his love of music technologies, be it studio, or live. Rhys has provided live PA at gigs and festivals, as well as lighting, programming & recording for various pop, rock and country acts over the years. His work as a music producer has supported amateurs and professionals alike, from relaxation CDs, people recording family songs through to professional recordings of albums & music DVDs for bands.
Rhys also has 30 years experience as a singer in solo acts, duos and bands and almost the same in music retail. His wealth of knowledge, skills and experience will support you to develop your production & recording skills and he's one of the most passionate people you will meet in music.
Rhys's latest project is developing a new 80's act, featuring an amazing band, fabulous sound system, and spectacular light show.... pushing his technical knowledge to the furthest.
