Drum Lessons

Yes we do but there are limited spaces. You can park on the right hand side of the building where there is space for 3 or 4 cars. If you’re practising after 5:00 there are also spaces behind the building. This is accessible if you go up Quarry Hill, turn into Quarry car park but don’t drive into the car park take the left turn immediately before the entrance barrier. This will take you around to the studio. Please see the picture with all parking illustrated in pink. If there are no spaces available there is also free on street parking after 6:00pm. If all else fails there is Quarry car park which is directly behind the studio.

While there’s no specific age to start, many children begin around age 6 or 7. Adults of any age can also start learning the drums.

 It’s beneficial to have your own drum set for practice, but beginners can start with a practice pad and drumsticks.

Consistent practice is key. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day, 4-5 times a week.

Yes, you can. Many drummers learn by ear, but learning to read music can be very beneficial.

A basic acoustic drum set or an electronic drum kit designed for beginners is a good start. Brands like Yamaha, Pearl, and Roland offer great options.

A standard drum set includes a bass drum, snare drum, toms (high, mid, and floor), hi-hat cymbals, ride cymbal, and crash cymbal.

Position each drum and cymbal so you can reach them comfortably. The snare drum should be centered between your legs, with the hi-hat to your left and the ride cymbal to your right.

Start with learning proper grip, basic strokes (single, double), and simple rhythms. Rudiments like the single stroke roll, double stroke roll, and paradiddle are foundational.

Practice with a metronome, play along with recordings, and focus on maintaining a steady beat.

You can learn various styles, including rock, jazz, blues, funk, metal, Latin, and more.

Rudiments are basic drumming patterns that serve as the building blocks for more complex rhythms and techniques.

It varies by individual. Basic skills can be learned in a few months, but mastery can take years of dedicated practice.

Yes, with regular practice, beginners can start playing simple songs within a few weeks.

Lessons typically include warm-ups, technique exercises, learning new rhythms, and playing along with music.
