Drumming Mentorship & Music Industry Consultancy
Baz’s expertise doesn’t stop at business. He’s also a seasoned Rhythmatologist and Music Industry Consultant with decades of experience mentoring and developing professional drummers and musicians.
He’s personally trained hundreds of drummers, some of whom have gone on to tour internationally, appear on national television, record with top session musicians in Nashville, and even play on a triple platinum-selling song. His coaching is practical, honest, and focused on results — for those who are serious about turning talent into a sustainable career.
Baz uses highly efficacious, high-speed teaching methods to help drummers and musicians achieve their personal objectives in minimal time.
He also offers music industry consultancy for artists and bands, providing support with contracts, career direction, studio preparation, and navigating the realities of the industry at a professional level.

Divine Rhythms — Spiritual Transformation Through Eternal Rhythms
Baz also offers Divine Rhythms — powerful spiritual drumming workshops designed for spiritual transformation, personal clarity, and emotional reset.
Divine Rhythms is more than music — it is spiritual drumming, the practice of eternal rhythms, and an exploration of their transformational importance. These sessions explore the ancient roots of divine healing rhythms and how cultures across the world have long used rhythm to harmonise the mind and body.
From ancient Egyptian temples to Siberian shamanic rituals, rhythm and sound have been used for millennia to harmonise energy centres and restore balance. Sound and rhythm have long been recognised for their potential to promote wellbeing and regeneration.
In one-to-one or small group sessions held in his dedicated spiritual studio, Baz guides participants through structured drumming designed to regulate the nervous system, calm racing thoughts, and encourage emotional release.
Benefits include:
- Relief from anxiety, depression, and emotional overload
- Regulation of the nervous system and reduced stress
- Greater clarity, focus, and groundedness
- Activation of both hemispheres of the brain for improved balance
- Reconnection with self through ancient rhythmic practices
- You don’t need to be a musician. You don’t need experience. Just an openness to rhythm as a tool for transformation.
