Welcome to Dye House Drum Works! My name is Lee Boyd Allatson and I offer drum tuition in Leicester at the Dye House Drum Works drum school. I have enjoyed over 30 year’s of professional playing experience, including 25 of these in music education. I am head of drum set studies at DHDW and teach one-to-one drum kit lessons through the week. My playing and teaching philosophies centre around an holistic method: To find and develop your own unique voice on the instrument, through a student-led approach.

“With Dye House Drum Works, I wanted to build a modern, bright, well equipped and fun place to learn. A school for drummers of all ages, backgrounds and playing goals, it was also important to me to keep lesson prices affordable. Our strong relationship with the Quad Studios complex has meant we can keep our hourly weekday rate to just £20. This remains one of the best lesson rates you will find anywhere and represents excellent value for money. Each student who walks through the door here has a unique musical agenda and I see our role as developing an exciting and productive learning structure around this core.”
