Drum Lessons

Overview
At Rockside Music (now also online), our drum lessons take place in a room equipped with two professional kits for teachers and students. Our instructors teach rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues, christian and many other styles of drumming, and challenge every student with technical exercises specifically designed to improve their speed and comfort. Beginning students need only their drumsticks and a notebook, and all that’s needed for practice at home is an inexpensive drum pad. Drummers are encouraged to bring in their favorite drum parts to learn. Many of our students are band members who play in local bands and churches.

What’s the #1 reason to choose Rockside for drum lessons?

Our drums instructors are warm, friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with each student individually. Therefore, teachers are able to craft a lesson plan that accomplishes the student’s unique goals. In short, wether you are a fifty year old returning to the drums, or a seven year old taking their your lesson; we will set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.

What styles of drumming do you teach?

We teach all styles, from rock, pop, jazz, and blues to metal, country and christian.

What will I learn from drum lessons at Rockside?

Our instructors challenge our students with wide-ranging technical exercises designed to improve speed and comfort. Because drum language can be complex, comprehensive theory is encouraged. Also, students can bring in their favorite drum songs to learn in their lessons. Drum lessons now also online.

Do I need to purchase a drum kit to learn the drums?

Definitely not. Our professional, soundproof drum lesson room at Rockside is equipped with two professional drum sets for teacher and student. In short, you just need to bring your drum sticks and a notebook. Beginning students can practice at home with a drum pad and sticks. Also, you might want to purchase a kit as well and if you can’t find it at your local shop, look at Sweetwater and American Musical for some good options.
