Lessons: Beginning to Advanced

Learn basic or advanced techniques. Supposedly rudiments are the necessary basis for playing the drums. But for students who are not so advanced, or just beginning, it is an absolute mystery why they have to struggle with what they feel to be boring technical exercises when all they really want to do is just play. But the rudiments are not boring at all if you can apply the new figure you've learned in its simple form directly to the drum set. With practice, our excellent instructors can show you the way. Students learn technique, reading and a variety of styles. All Drum World teachers are professional drummers.

Scheduling lessons:

Call us at 650-572-9900 to schedule your lessons. You may request a day, time and instructor. Schedules vary per instructor. Teachers are paid directly by the student. Lesson rates vary per teacher. Each studio is equipped with two drum sets (for teacher and student). Lessons are also available for xylophone, marimba, timpani, bongos, djembe, and conga. Periodically, Drum World holds master classes and clinics by various pro drummers. Have Fun, Play Drums!

The scaled down dimensions and ease of set up make the Taye GoKit the ultimate configuration for drummers on the run, but many will be smitten by its sound. With a small drum set you shouldn’t sacrifice tone. That sound is direct and articulate, fat and sustaining. It’s also marginally reduced in terms of dBs, making it ideal for smaller venues such as clubs, pubs, restaurants and churches. It records in a pinch, and to top it all, makes a great practice kit. The Go Kit is one of the best mini kits on the market.
