A drum kit usually includes a high hat, crash, ride cymbal, and a pair of drum sticks. If you are taking another style of drumming, you may purchase a snare, bongos, conga, or djembe. Most students will also purchase a drum practice pad at a music store, which is a portable way to practice the beats and techniques of drumming.

Taking drum lessons in-home offers a practical approach for perfecting the art of drumming! Our teachers travel to students for weekly lessons. Students should have an instrument in their home for the lessons. A lot of progress can be noticed very quickly if the student is practicing daily.

Drum lessons will cover drumming techniques, learning to read music, and music theory. Our teachers will suggest specific method books for the student to use during their drum lessons.

Taking drum lessons as an adult can help you achieve your goals as a drummer! Whether you want to play rock style drums or African drums, our teachers are here to help you reach you musical goals on the instrument.

We suggest children start drum lessons at age 7 or 8. The drums require increased physicality in the hands and fingers, so a younger student may find drumming very difficult. Students studying on a drum kit should be able to reach the pedals of the drums.
