DRUM LESSONS

FAQs

What is the best age to start drum lessons?

We recommend that if your child is showing an interest in learning an instrument, any age is the best age. As a parent, you’ll know when that time is. Is your child playing air guitar to their favorite songs or singing in the shower and everywhere they go? Is your child playing drums on the couch or performing a full concert in the back seat of the car? These are all clear signs that you have a musician in the making.

We’ve had incredible success with drum students starting as young as 2 years old... yes, 2 years old!!!! The key is not to expect miracles, but to trust that our professional instructors are working hard to motivate your child to be the best they can be. Slowly, skills will be developed, and before you know it, your child will be playing like a pro.

Do I need a drum set to start drum lessons?

Owning a drum set would be beneficial to becoming great fast, however, we know drum sets can be expensive and loud. We recommend that new drum students purchase a pair of sticks and a practice pad, both of which you can purchased at our studios.

When it comes time to buy a drum kit, you can always start with an electronic kit which takes up very little space and can be played with headphones if volume is a concern. An acoustic drum kit is always a must-have piece of gear for drummers and we can help you make the perfect choice. Talk to your instructor about different options and what we have in stock ready for you to take home.

How long until I’m Neal Peart?

While everyone is different, the bottom line is practice. The more time you spend playing your drums, the faster you will experience ability-changing results. If we’re doing our job right by keeping you motivated and inspired, you or your child will have to work at not wanting to play drums every minute of the day.

Can I play in a band?

Another valuable learning tool we offer that will greatly increase your musical knowledge is our live performance programs. We’ve seen musicians skyrocket to greatness when working with our amazing instructors and other musicians in a live band setting.
