JoJo M.

"I have had the fortune to see him play-out with bands quite a few times. AND I have also had the fortune to have him teach me the correct way to play a Cow Bell during one of his shows. I was actually called up to do so, and Michael B was very patient, and took his time to show me how to play; and how to keep a proper beat. I would highly recommend Michael B as an instructor!"

Beth R.

"Mike made learning drums so simple for me! I was a little apprehensive about learning some of the techniques, but he definitely made it simple. I highly recommend mike to teach you any form of music."

Drum Lesson FAQ'a

How long does it take to learn to play the drums?

No one-size-fits-all answer depends on your learning style, practice habits, and musical goals. However, with consistent practice and a good instructor, you can start playing basic beats and rhythms within the first few lessons. Becoming proficient takes time and dedication, but the journey is incredibly rewarding!

Do I need to own a drum set to take lessons?

Not necessarily! Many drum instructors have a drum set at their studio that you can use during lessons. However, having your own drum set at home is beneficial for practicing between lessons. If you're unsure, talk to your instructor about your options.

What should I bring to my first drum lesson?

For your first drum lesson, it's helpful to bring a few things:

  • Drumsticks: If you have your own, bring them! If not, your instructor may have some you can borrow or purchase.
  • Notebook and pen/pencil: To take notes on techniques, exercises, or songs.
  • Water bottle: Staying hydrated is important, especially during a physical activity like drumming.
  • (Optional) Comfortable clothes: You'll be moving around, so wear something you can move freely in.
  • (Optional) Your favorite music: If there's a song you'd love to learn, bring it along!
