Drum Tuition
Drum for Fun offers individual drum tuition for beginners of all ages.
Clients play on a full size professional acoustic drum kit. Smaller children can use a compact junior kit.
Practice as loud as you like, build your confidence, keep fit and have fun all at the same time.
Why not listen and learn by playing along to your favourite music tracks and take home a CD recording of your drum grooves?
You may choose to test yourself against the Rock School or London College of Music drum standards.
