We provide a clear path to playing drums

Let’s face it: drums aren’t easy! We analyze your current skills and musicianship, and then provide a goal-oriented curriculum to make sure you get the most out of your study with us.

A Solid Curriculum.

Below are the core levels all study topics will be based upon. The goal is for the student to progress from one level to the next. Within each level, there is a series of topics that will be addressed in each lesson, which can also be slightly customized to accomodate a student’s musical interests.

BEGINNER: GETTING STARTED ON THE DRUMS

This path is tailored to someone who’s never, or hardly ever, played drumset before. This will cover how to hold your sticks, sit behind the drumset, how to play your pedals and more.

DETAILS
INTERMEDIATE: SOLIDIFYING YOUR SKILLS

This path assumes you’ve played drums for a while, are familiar with the basics, and want to build and improve. We’ll take your skill and enhance it in every area possible.

DETAILS
ADVANCED: REFINING YOUR TECHNIQUE

This path dives into the world of polyrhythms, odd meter, hand and foot speed techniques, double bass and more.
