You have reached the website of Paul Francis, a professional drummer and the owner of Orchard Percussion Studio. We have been providing high quality drum tuition and clinics in Essex, United Kingdom, for over twenty years. Our clinics feature World renown drummers such as Jojo Mayer, Mark Schulman, Dave Weckl and Thomas Lang.
On many occasions over the years whilst relating stories of my life as a musician people have told me that I should write a book. Last year I finally got the chance to put pen to paper. It was quite a task to take on but with help from Goldie and friends I finished it.
Continue to our Publications page to order.
Following on from last year's Benny Greb clinic, we are pleased to announce a Gavin Harrison clinic on 12th June 2001. The clinic will take place at Orchard Percussion studio on 12th June 2011, Sunday at 3pm.
