Hello my name is Matt Raymond I am a professional drummer and drum teacher.
I have been playing the drums for 30 years and have 25 years performing experience as well as 20 years teaching experience. In that time I have had the pleasure of playing for quite a number of different artists including Tony nominated and Grammy nominated performers.
I have studied music since I was a child and have a first class honours degree in music performance from Drumtech (LCM/UWL) and a masters degree in music performance from the London College of Music.
I'm based just just outside of London in Maidstone Kent and currently working on a freelance basis.
I'm always looking for any playing or teaching opportunities be it gigs, tours, sessions etc. So please get in touch if you need a drummer or drum teacher.
"Matt Raymond is the consummate professional: great chops, great swing, great reading skills and great fun on the bandstand. Matt’s an asset to any band."
