BIOGRAPHY

I'm Dylan Sluiter, a drum-kit and music theory tutor based in Leeds, UK. I graduated from Leeds Conservatoire in Jazz Drum-kit in 2021 with 1st Class Honors. Prior to this, I was a drummer based in Cardiff, Wales. I was lucky to be part of many different classical, jazz and pop/rock projects. Some of these projects led on to opportunites playing in world renowned venues such as Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and The Royal Albert Hall. Other large venues include Birmingham Symphony Hall, Cardiff Symphony Hall and Budapest Jazz Club. I am currently a session musician based in Leeds, playing for multiple artists and function groups playing in venues such as Rita's, The Domino Jazz club and Northern Guitars. I am also part of house bands at two jams running in Leeds, The RnB Jam at The Domino Jazz Club and The Blues Jam at Bootleggers. I have been taught by highly skilled educators across the UK including Dave Walsh (Head of Jazz at Lcon and Elliott Bennet (Head of Jazz at The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama).
