My two sons attended their first drum lesson last week. They absolutely loved it. The teacher was fab with them and their enthusiasm for helping the children reach their potential and most importantly enjoy their lessons shone through, they can't wait to go again.

Beginner Drum Lessons in Manchester
​
We welcome any complete beginner by getting them sat behind the drums and explaining the different parts of the kit. New students of all ages can be taught by a drum teacher how to hold their drum sticks, followed by some simple stick patterns to get them playing around the drums. One of the first steps in learning a drum beat, is being able to hit two drums at the same time. Our Manchester drum teachers use a simple exercise and some play-along backing tracks to teach this skill. From there students are taught more interesting rudiments, how to add in other parts of the drums into their grooves, and how to play some of their favourite songs and rock beats!
Intermediate Drum Lessons
​
You've got your basic grooves sounding good on the drum kit and you can play along to your favourite music. What next? You will start to dive a little deeper into your stick control, music theory, rhythm, looking at tips, tricks, and specific methods for playing faster and improving your control and creativity on the drum set. You will look at how to get the best sound out of the drums and how you need to adjust your playing style for different performance scenarios. The next level of drum grooves you learn will involve more syncopation, using accents and even looking at linear drum patterns. You will start to look at different drum beats from around the world and dip into new genres of music that will help you to grow not only as a drummer, but as a well rounded musician. One of the most interesting parts of the intermediate drum lessons are looking at some of the most influential drummers in history and learning what they do that makes them so special. Drummers like Dave Grohl (Nirvana), Ringo Starr (The Beatles), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Buddy Rich (Jazz Legend). Following this, you will be show how to incorporate aspects of their playing into your own to come up with your own unique sound behind the drums.
