About the Drum

Drums, a versatile percussion instrument, consist of various components such as acoustic or electronic drums and a range of auxiliary equipment, providing a dynamic rhythmic foundation across diverse musical genres.

Drums are instruments that can be started from approximately 6 years old. You can play on an acoustic (ideally) or electric drum set. It is a fun choice of instrument for beginner teenagers.

Our Teachers

All of our teachers hold university degrees specifically in their instrument. We selected them for their passion for music and care for teaching. They are always encouraging and positive, catering to each student’s interests, desires, and goals. We teach with an “American Approach” to music education with your hands on the instrument from the first day (read our blogpost about the American Approach).
