Hands and feet each learn their own part.
Timing
Keeping a steady beat sharpens focus and listening.

A healthy, joyful way to burn off energy and stress.

Drum questions
Do I need drums at home?
Not to start. A hand drum like a djembe, or a practice pad and sticks, is plenty. If you fall in love with it, an electronic kit with headphones is a great quiet option.
Will it be too loud for my home?
Practice pads and electronic kits with headphones make drumming neighbor friendly.
What age can my child start drums?
Kids can start around 4 or 5 on hand drums like djembes and tubanos. Older kids, teens, and adults can add our electronic drum kit.
What drums do you use?
Mostly hand drums like djembes and tubanos, plus shakers, other percussion, and an electronic drum kit. We are not a big rock drum studio. We play drums because they are fun and they build great rhythm.
Do I need to read music?
No. We add drum notation when you are ready, step by step.
Do online drum lessons work?
Yes, with a hand drum or practice pad and a phone or laptop camera.
