Online Drumming
- 01I teach students of all ages, from young beginners (around 6 years old) to adults of any age. Lessons are tailored to suit the needs, goals, and skill levels of each individual.
- 02Drum lesson payment are paid monthly and in advance. We split the year into 44 week of total lessons and then average the cost into an easy, predictable sum. We use GoCardless, a safe and reputable provider, to process payments so no need to handle cash, no need to remember to pay invoices -its all done for you. Cancel anytime
- 03Sure! Here's a cheekier and friendlier version of that: Of course! Rupert’s a total sweetheart (and hypoallergenic to boot), but we totally get that not everyone’s a dog person. Just give us a heads-up if you’d prefer him out of the way—no offence taken! He doesn’t hang out in the Drum Cubby anyway, so you won’t find him sneaking in for a solo.
- 04We're tucked away on a lovely quiet street with loads of parking right outside – zero stress, just rock up!
- 05No experience needed at all!
- 06Lessons run 20, 30, or 60 minutes. Once a week is ideal for making real progress, but if you’re more of a binger, we can book more.
- 07Great question, our drum-kit is a hybrid acoustic/ electronic kit. This means that we can manually turn the volume down or up - it'll never be loud enough to harm their hearing.
- 08If you can’t make your lesson, we’ll do our best to shuffle things around and find another time that works. Sometimes that just means you’ll get double the drumming fun in one week. But! If we can’t pin down a reschedule, the lesson will still be billed — think of it as your spot being reserved just for you. That said, we're usually pretty good at making it work. 😉
- 09Absolutely! The Drum Cubby’s a cosy little spot – so as long as you’re not claustrophobic, you’ll be just fine! Or hey, why not take a break from the kids and chill in the waiting room with a cuppa.
- 10Sure, you could learn drums on YouTube—just like you could learn to drive by watching racing videos. Fun until you hit a roundabout! 😅 With us, you get real feedback, personalised lessons, and zero bad habits.
- 11Sure, school drum lessons are great—if you fancy sharing a kit that looks like it’s been dragged down a motorway and playing "Twinkle Twinkle" on repeat! With us, it’s all about your favourite music, pro gear that actually sounds good, and lessons tailored just for you. No waiting, no noise battles
- 12Unlike other schools teaching everything from flute to kazoo, we’re all about drums—100% pure, unfiltered drumming. With us, you get specialist lessons tailored just for drummers—no one-size-fits-all nonsense. More playing, more progress, and way more bang for your buck. Other schools can keep their recorders.
- 13Nope.
- 14Anything from classic rock to headbanging metal, funk to jazzy smoothness—if it makes noise, we can make it sound good. Even if you just want to learn the intro to We Will Rock You (no judgment).
- 15Forget boring exams and rigid grades—MDS Levels are all about real drumming. You’ll: Play Cool Stuff: Learn pieces you actually want to play. Jam Out: Improvise over songs I choose, so you’ll always be on your toes. Groove & Smash: Master beats and fills for your favorite genres. You’ll be a versatile drummer before you know it!
- 16Yes! Whether you want to master a stadium anthem, impress friends with a tricky groove, or just prove you can play “that one song,” we’ll break it down until you’re nailing it.
- 17We offer online drumming feedback lessons whereby students can upload videos of themselves playing on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis and received detailed feedback on their playing.
- 18We offer a simple subscription model—just sign up with your details through our secure payment system, and you'll be billed monthly. No hassle, no extra steps required!
