Tim's Drumming Studio

Tim's Drumming Studio Tim McClelland is a drummer, teacher and collaborator, based in Mackay, QLD. I am passionate about drum and percussion education.

**At the moment I do have quite a waiting list, but please feel free to reach out if you would like to be added to this list!**

I cater to ages 5+ and any experience level. Here's a little introduction of myself:

I have been playing drums since 2004, and have worked as a teacher since 2010. I have a Bachelor of Music, specalising in Jazz and Pop from Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music. A

When I am home, I am actively involved with various local performing groups and have drummed for Bluewater Big Band, Mackay Musical Comedy Players, Music Theatre program at Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Mackay Choral Society, Mackay Christmas Carols in the Gardens and Red Giraffe Theatre Company just to name a few. I strive for excellence in everything I do as a performer and teacher.
