Who We Are | Virtual Lessons
Welcome to NYC’s #1 Drum Teaching Studio
We offer 45 minute Private Drum Lessons to drum students of all abilities and ages. Our minimum age requirement is 7 years old. We also offer a long-running group class for adult beginners called The Absolute Beginners Group Class. That class is on hold for the moment due to Covid. We are–of course–on board with the stay at home orders that will help to keep our customers and employees safe. In the meantime, ask us about virtual lessons.
Our Reviews: The Best In NYC
It’s true. We’ve got more five star reviews on YELP and Google than anyone else in NY who is offering to teach you how to play drums. In fact, we don’t just have more reviews–we have WAY more reviews. That’s got to mean something, right?
Our Philosophy: Drumming is Joy
We’re a place where young or old, female or male, are welcome. Where those who have never touched a pair of sticks feel comfortable. Where children and adults learn from enthusiastic and patient teachers in a fun way. Where some students have lofty goals and some just want to see what drumming is like. We have a real, true, open door policy. The reason? We believe that “Drumming is Joy,” and we want to share that joy with anyone who wants to experience it.
Virtual Drum Lessons in the Covid environment
Since we’re considered a “non-essential” business, our physical studios are currently closed. We’ll reopen them as soon as it’s safe to do so. However, never fear! We are still teaching via Skype and Zoom. Many of our students have opted to continue by studying virtually with our teachers. If you are interested in learning the drums, why not do something exciting with your lockdown time? Drumming is meditative, invigorating and fun!
