Nicolas Bastos is much more than just a drum teacher! I've been taking lessons with him for almost 3 years now. He is a... patient, deeply kind and very professional person. It offers videos at the end of each course in order to continue practicing with visual support. Through his classes, I made friends with other students. Also, several times a year, Nicolas organizes private concerts where students can show their progress to others. It is truly a pleasure to be your disciple Sensei!PS: He really is a monster of talent in his discipline!read more

Nicolas takes us into his passion for drums, giving his lessons with kindness and rigor, which allows us to make real... progress whatever our starting level.The strong points of his teaching: technical skills very well explained during the session, supported by the broadcast of videos and explanatory sheets which allow all the points to be reworked after the fact. Each course combines a lesson on a musical technique or style, active listening, then its application to pieces of music. It’s a real pleasure to attend each of his classes!read more

Excellent drum teacher. Advised by an accomplished drummer for me who is a complete beginner, Nicolas offers extremely... rich and complete training while adapting to the particularities of each student. Fundamentals, scales, reading work, posture, possibility of doing small concerts between students, learning to analyze and replay our favorite pieces...it's all there. And always with kindness and good humor!read more

After 20 years of self-taught drumming, I met Nicolas... and it changed my life. I discovered a world of drumming... techniques and how to practice them intelligently, efficiently and with pleasure. We learn to create things of incredible richness, all with a method and a pedagogy that I never thought I would find one day. I highly recommend his classes (and his kindness and patience have nothing to do with it!), whether you are a beginner, experienced, or even with the desire to become a pro.read more

Nicolas has proven himself at the highest level. He is certainly excellent technically but also has stage culture.... Being a good drummer isn't just about banging out 240 bpm doubles, it's also about bringing the unexpected and the spectacle!And for that you have to go through all the styles, look for inspiration and stay curious. All in a great atmosphere because Nicolas is a teacher, close to his students and runs the lessons with humor.read more
