Drums – Rhys Dixon

Rhys had his first drum lesson at the age of 11 and strongly believes it is important for everyone to have a teacher, no matter the skill level. With 10 years of being the student, he’s learnt many perspectives and methods of teaching to form a unique approach. Rhys specialises in Pop/Rock/Latin and overall drumming technique. Rhys hails from the North East, and studied music at Gateshead College, becoming a session drummer at the Sage (The Glasshouse). 3 years later, he graduated from Leeds Conservatoire and has since been gigging in prolific venues such as The Cluny in Newcastle, Belgrave in Leeds and Jack White’s record shop, London. Rhys currently plays for Robyn Banks and Tom A Smith (signed to Fiction Records) as a Session Drummer, with opportunities to play SXSW 2026 in Austin, Texas and sold out shows across the UK. After university, teaching was always a route Rhys wanted to take, now teaching in schools across Yorkshire as well as the Leeds studio!
