Leandri van der Elst

"It is such an honour to write about my sons’ drumming tutor. Through his unique & effective teaching style, Corné manages to impart his tangible passion for drumming & music to his students. Corné is professional, whilst simultaneously remaining cognisant of the uniqueness of each student. What a privilege my sons have had to be guided by Corné on their drumming-journey! It remains to be of utmost quality! Thank you, Corné"

Marieke Loubser

"We joined Olckers drumming at the end of last year and, in a matter of 3 months, Corné took my son through his paces, improved and added structure to his knowledge and had him pass his grade 1 for drums. Corné is extremely passionate about his art and his positive approach makes it a pleasure for all involved. My son is motivated and his self-confidence has improved. You cannot go wrong enrolling at Olckers drumming!"

Jannie Jooste

"Our son has passed up to grade 7 with Corne of Olckers Drumming, currently in grade 8. Corne has been inspiring from the start. He is a great tutor and does an amazing job with them. He goes the extra mile for extra opportunies like Eisteddfod. A big benefit is that the lessons can also be online, but he also has an excellent studio at home. Olckers drumming is just the best! Thank you Corne, we appreciate you alot!"
