Having worked with a broad range of talented artists and students for over a decade, Maxie has gathered extensive recording, touring and teaching experience which they bring in to every aspect of their work.
  • Maxie is the height of professionalism and personality. Generating incredible ideas on the spot, your recording project is guaranteed to improve in all of the ways if Maxie is involved!
    Charlie Deakin-Davis, Producer (Gary Barlow, DiDi)
  • My name is Terence Foster Fox, I am a singer/bass player. I have been a musician all my life having 3 Major Record Deals working and living both here in England and America. When I met Maxie I was immediately impressed by their enthusiasm and professionalism. Maxie knows every song you ask them to play inside out, is always on time and never lets you down at a gig.

  • I know that if I work with Maxie I’m not only getting professionalism but heart. Maxie was incredible to work with remotely on my single “Just Breathe”. They are efficient, skilled and genuinely care. They want you as the client to be happy. I look forward to working with Maxie again.
    MIRI, Artist
  • Maxie is one of the coolest and most passionate drummers I’ve ever worked with. They frequently dep for our drummer Laura and I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as well prepared for rehearsals and enthusiastic to learn new songs as them. Maxie has great groove and feel, and is the kind of person you want to tour with. Plus, after a long tour you’ll find you want to smuggle them back to your house to continue being around their good vibes!
    Anna F, Band member (Friedberg)
  • Maxie is one of the most professional and hard working live drummers I’ve worked with. They're very talented. Playing with them was an absolute pleasure. We had a sold out headline show and our drummer had suffered an injury. Maxie stepped in at the last minute and learnt an entire set perfectly in record time. Their positive attitude and kind nature is infectious. They're a pleasure to be around. They're a captivating, charismatic and energetic performer on stage too. Wouldn’t hesitate to book them on any future job.
    Camilla Rom, Band member (Babyteeth)
  • Maxie has also recorded original music with me in the studio, and the ideas they brought to the table definitely enhanced the finished product. They are a fantastic drummer and a lovely person, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • Maxie’s loop lunchboxes are packed full of groove to spark creativity. They have a remarkable ability to meet a brief and inject life energy into what they put their attention to - and it shows in the loops. Each beat has a different feel, but a consistent sound. With a lunchbox, you can expect a versatile selection of vibes to create a solid foundation for any track.
    Becky Wixon, Artist/Producer
  • I absolutely love the drum loop lunchbox Maxie made for me! I sent over some reference tracks and within a couple of days, they returned with 18 loops, which came out exactly how I wanted. They also sent across some stems, at my request. It's amazing to have my own custom-created, unique library of drum loops. They're so often the first thing I turn to when I'm working on a new idea. I can't recommend Maxie enough!
    Citizen Helene, Artist/DJ
  • Maxie’s lessons have been critical for my development as a drummer. They help me progress in the directions I need in order to keep improving. Also they've inspired me to start giving lessons myself and have been monumentally helpful in getting me set up as a tutor. I really appreciate everything and am looking forward to my future lessons and teaching!
    Arthur, Student and trainee teacher
  • Maxie has been teaching our son for 5 years. They are an outstanding teacher and musician. Highly dedicated and professional but also tactful and incredibly enthusiastic, they manage to get the best of their students. Each lesson is carefully planned and goals are achieved whether they are for academic or pleasure purposes. They pass their love for music on and turns each lesson into a special and happy moment! As Maxie is also a professional musician, they have an acute sense of how to play, learn and teach music nowadays. Our 17 year old son loves his lessons and has chosen to now pursue a career in music. He did his work experience shadowing Maxie and has started teaching some students of his own under Maxie’s mentorship.
    Etienne and Caroline, Student’s Parents
  • Maxie is a powerhouse of energy, enthusiasm, experience and deep-seated knowledge (combined with infinite patience). They intuitively tap into my drumming level and progress and tailors each lesson to perfectly match my needs and mission. Every lesson with them is simply joyous and I leave with exciting and constructive tools for my drumming journey and a smile on my face! Drumming is Maxie’s raison d’etre and their passion is highly infectious and inspirational. I cannot commend them highly enough as a teacher!
    Jane, Student
  • Maxie is the best teacher and an amazing drummer. Really supportive and encouraging whilst being firm and clear. Teaches essentials but adds key details for style and feel. Also has fantastic energy and good vibes all round. Highly recommend.
    Rose, Student
  • You make two friends when you have a lesson with Maxie; one is Maxie themself who instantly surrounds you with their charm, sense of humour and their encyclopaedic understanding of the drums. They understand the instrument entirely and they also understand you and what you need. The other friend is the drumkit itself, you will love keeping company with this instrument. Maxie’s warmth encourages you to be the best drummer you can be. I myself have a physical disability but Maxie gives you the chance to feel enabled and not so disabled. Maxie gets such a thrill from helping you discover the drummer inside of you and that’s an experience I would wholeheartedly recommend.
