MEET THE TEACHERS

Rangi

DRUM TEACHER

Rangi is fresh into teaching but has been immersed in music and drums his whole life! He has a strong love for all aspects of drumming and enjoys both writing and playing multiple genres. Growing up he could be found in Rockhampton at his dads cover bands shows or bashing the drum kit at home. At the age of 10 he first began lessons, getting the basics down and learning rock songs from bands like Pearl Jam, Lenny Kravitz, AC/DC, Foo Fighters and the likes. Eventually he began diving into heavier and experimental genres as the technical aspects of drumming found in these really stood out to him.

By the age of 14 Rangi had already started touring up and down QLD’s East Coast with friends in their own original band.  By 18 Rangi found himself living in Brisbane playing drums in multiple bands and touring around Australia. He has since played at festivals (Groovin’ The Moo, Falls Festival, Party In The Paddock, Big Pineapple, Big Sound, Best Night Ever and many more), played national tours supporting the likes of Dune Rats, DZ Death Rays, Violent Soho, The Rubens, Tired Lion, King Parrot, Slowly Slowly, Beddy Rays (plus a ton more), has had Triple J premieres and even had one of his bands signed to BMG Records. 

He may be fresh into teaching but he’s eager to share and teach everything he has learned throughout his drumming career so far!
