By cross-training in our Band Performance Studies course, you'll get jamming and performance opportunities with a band. Basically, we incorporate a segment of our drum lessons with band practice sessions as well as live concerts!

Drum Theory & Notation

To be completely and totally adaptable in any live gig or studio recording session, drum theory and notation studies are essential in every drummer's arsenal. Don't worry - we keep it fun and practical!
