What our students and parents have to say

Music inspiration

At The Drum Studio we have diverse backgrounds in many genres. We bring our passion and expertise in each genre to all of our drum lessons. That way, our students can find their own style, which is all part of the fun.

Rock

Taylor Hawkins was the drummer for one of the biggest rock bands today, the Foo Fighters, and had an energy and stage presence that was the envy of many drummers.

RnB/Soul
Stevie Wonder is arguably one of the grooviest guys out there and has a band to suit. Stanley Randolph is his drummer, borrowing a lot from a style known as Gospel, this style is the basis of a lot of live pop acts today, from Beyonce to Kendrick Lamar.
Jazz + Big Band
Buddy Rich is a self-made legend in the world of Big Band music, known also for his excellent band leadership and playing entirely without charts he is one of the best.
Funk
Dennis Chambers is a funk master with some top-notch chops. He has played with groups such as Parliament Funk and Santana.
Latin, Afro-Cuban and Brazillian
Horacio Hernandez is one of the most advanced afro-Cuban players out there with independence that is just downright scary.

We’ll also explore different styles of music with your child, focusing on the styles they like the most. From our experience, using a style of music that children enjoy as part of our drum lessons is the best way to keep them engaged and enjoying what they are doing.
