Professional Drum Coaching and Drum Recording.
36 years of Touring/Recording/Educating experience.
Hi, I’m Ric Chandler, and I’ve dedicated my life to music.
I’m a professional Drummer, Producer, Composer, & Educator with 36 years of experience Touring & Recording around the world.
Throughout my career, I’ve been blessed to work with 5 No.1-Selling Artists Worldwide, including Gary Numan, Calvin Harris, Modern English, Tricky, Amy Studt(19 Management UK), & Jimmy James & The Vagabonds. I’ve also performed on iconic television shows around the world, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon -USA, Top of the Pops & Friday Night Live - UK, and Nulle Part Ailleurs (NPA) - France.
I have spoken & performed at many Drum clinics, Drum schools, & major music events, appearing alongside legendary drummers such as Billy Cobham and Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, Endorsing Pearl Drums & Zildjian Cymbals.
Through all of this, I realised how important it is to pass on not just knowledge, but the skills, mindset, experience, and musical understanding that drummers need to reach their full potential behind the kit and in their careers.
That is why I created Drum Academy 1:1 Coaching
With Drum Academy 1:1 Coaching, my mission is to help drummers unlock their full potential and make real progress through focused, personalised coaching built on real-world experience, strong musical foundations, and a clear path forward.
Drawing on 36 years of Professional Recording experience, Including with 5 No1 selling artists and many Grammy Award Winning Producers, Recording drums is something I’m deeply passionate about, and that passion led me to create Drum Sessions — a service that delivers world-class, high-quality remote drum recordings designed to help artists’ records stand out.
My mission with Drum Sessions is to help artists, songwriters, producers, and bands bring their songs to life with powerful, musical, professional drum tracks recorded with feel, precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of what every song truly needs.
