Dan Foord
the power force behind
Sikth
, is going back to school… rock school!
Following the success of his blistering masterclass with fellow Sikth metaller James Leach, Dan will now be making regular visits to the
Academy of Contemporary Music
in Guildford to teach some extracurricular percussion classes.
Regarded as one of the most technical metal drummers in the UK, Dan will be teaching a range of topics related to progressive metal drumming, including double pedal technique, triggering and odd time signatures.
Mike Sturgis
, Head of Drums at ACM and
