The Studio

Lakeshore West Drum Lessons, located at Lakeshore/Islington, Etobicoke, is equipped with two acoustic kits, drum mics, a mixer, and amps. This high-ceilinged, musical sanctuary is where my students learn to drum from scratch, or further develop their skills. Online lessons are also available.

Nick Deraiche, drummer & teacher

Obsessed with drumming since the sixth grade (still obsessed 33 years later) Nick moved to Toronto to study at Humber College, majoring in jazz performance. He then spent the better part of a decade drumming aboard crise ships, playing dozens of different shows every contract. He now teaches drumming and gigs both corporate events and wedding venues.
