That'll be Dave Pattman (half-man half-bata).

I'll vouch for JC - Dave is a great teacher and thoroughly decent bloke. Snowboy's band are VERY hot - there should be a big Snowboy gig coming up at The Forum (Kentish Town) in the next few months - so go along and check them out if you've never seen them.

Another couple of people worth looking out for (tuition-wise) are both Robin Jones and Hamish Orr (Pro Percussion in Kentish Town should have contact details of these guys)

Good luck.
