Tuomas Rauhala / Drum Routines

I’m a Finnish drummer and educator with a lifelong passion for rhythm, movement, and the art of playing drums. My musical roots stretch from classical percussion to rock, metal, jazz, and fusion — and I’ve been lucky to share the stage with a wide range of artists across genres and around the world.

As a teacher, I’m deeply interested in the physics and mechanics of drumming — how our bodies move, how energy flows, and how to make drumming effortless and injury-free. My goal is to help drummers of all levels find a natural, efficient way to play — no matter what style of music they love. When the foundation works, everything else falls into place.
