Drum lessons with a Patient Pro . . .

As a seasoned instructor I can say without hesitation that it is far better to study with a private instructor than to try to learn from a chain. McMusic Schools like ‘School of Ro_k’ or chain stores such as Guitar Cent_r are lacking. They impose fake drumming experiences such as drum sets with ‘silent’ heads and cymbals, leaving you thirsting for what it’s like to play real drums and cymbals… A good private instructor will not only be a seasoned professional (above age 35), but also have equipment to provide you with a genuine experience such as playing high quality drums and cymbals, usually mic’d and with video options. You should learn how to read basic notation and learn how to play with tracks, eventually—this is the ultimate fulfillment. I offer all of this because I REALLY want students to learn how it feels to play drums in a genuine way, not just pretend. Even if it is at the most basic level… let’s make it happen!
