Chris Mountford – Drums

Since graduating from ACM Chris has been a committed educator, both as a private drum teacher and leading band based workshops and courses through The Band Project. Encouraging and developing the next generation of drummers has always been Chris’ passion and he is thrilled to be able to be doing that a s part of the Cherry Pie team. 

As drum teacher Chris’ lessons are built around achieving a balance of good technique, a wide knowledge of different styles and a lot of listening to music. Students learn at their own speed and every student is unique, learning is a process not a race. 
In recent years Chris has studied with world renowned drummers including Richard Spaven, leading Pop and Gospel session star Julien Brown and Jazz master Rod Youngs - there’s always something more to learn and develop. 

As a composer and band leader Chris writes material blending his love for Jazz, electronic music and minimalism for his own ensemble CCDM. The group has been a revolving door of some of the UK’s top session and jazz musicians over the years and Chris is currently finishing arrangements for recording the ensembles first EP.
