Drums for Beginners

Why You Should Take Our Drums for Beginners Class

Here at NAMS, we focus a lot on the student as an individual. No two drummers are alike. We offer 30 or 60 minute sessions with experienced instructors. Our approach begins by identifying your abilities and preferred music genres, then teaching you a favorite song rather than starting with theory books.

Instruction integrates fundamental techniques like rudiments and stroke methods within enjoyable music contexts. From day one, you will begin playing along with a recording of a song you enjoy. This makes it ten times easier for you to retain the information you are taught.
