Never Played Drums? Want to Learn?
Imagine. You come home from work, enter your apartment and go straight to your electronic drum kit. You pick up your drumsticks, sit down on your drum stool, and start playing some of your favorite beats. All of your troubles melt away as you get lost in your drumming. Eventually, you look at your watch and you realize that you’ve been playing for over an hour! What?! How did that happen? It seemed like just a few minutes since you sat down. And now you feel so good!
Sound good? That’s what drumming is like! It’s freeing, meditative, relaxing, physical and fun! You’ve wanted to learn drumming for a long time, haven’t you? Why wait?
