Learn to play drums! Beginners to advanced.

Our drum kit tuition covers a wide variety of musical styles from rock to pop,metal to jazz and pretty much everything in between! Beginners will learn to read drum music and play rudiments, the very building blocks of drumming. Within a few lessons you can expect to be playing some simple beats along to a backing track, and then the fun begins! We have a great selection of play along backing tracks, and these not only making learning to play drums great fun, but they are also an excellent way to gauge your progress.

As you progress, we'll teach you various techniques to help you get the most out of your drumming and  reach your own musical goals. Maybe you fancy joining a band, or working towards taking recognised drum exams? Apply some rudiments around the drum set? or maybe you just want to play for fun...its up to you and we'll tailor the syllabus to fit in with your goals and abilities. We are also able to help experienced drummers who are in need of some fresh new ideas. Its easy to fall into a rut of playing the same beats and fills all the time, so let us give you the tools and concepts to unleash your creativity and take your drumming to the next
