A solid groove is the foundation upon which all great music and musicians rest. When a drummer finds that groove, they support the other musicians playing, allowing them to relax and follow the groove while they layer their rhythms and melodies over the top. Knowing how to find and feel your groove as a drummer is everything!
If you are interested in learning to drum, or taking your drum skills to another level, Take5 Music can offer lessons in drums, congas, djembe and percussion.
You'll learn the basis of keeping time, rhythms, rudiments, fills and reading drum-kit notation. You will play together with and in response to your teacher on side-by-side kits in the Drum Room, allowing you to establish good solid time and to hear and imitate rhythms as you practice your rudiments and play songs. As you progress, you'll get the chance to apply your skills alongside guitar or bass in the Band Room.
Theory is an integral part of learning music and becoming a musician, but Pino teaches theory by integrating it with your playing. Key concepts will be gradually introduced as you learn to keep it interesting and relevant to you.
If you are more experienced on drums, we will assess your skills and work on strengthening any gaps in your technique and theory. You'll be encouraged and challenged to improve your time, rudiments and reading skills, but also to develop your musicianship and sensitivity as a drummer. We can also help you to develop your performance and songwriting skills.
Drumming lessons are available for all ages, (we've even had students as young as 4!) Contact us to discuss your individual goals and needs.
