Just starting to play?
From your very first lesson you’ll be playing grooves and fills on a full drum kit and building your abilities through the lessons at your own pace along to the music that you like to listen to and aspire to play.
We’ll make sure that you’re developing good habits and techniques from day one.
We’ll also focus on how you play, as much as what you play, which is as important for your long term enjoyment of the instrument. You’ll be playing along to your favourite songs before you know it.
It all starts right here.
Going for your grades?
The sense of achievement from passing your grades and getting the certificates is amazing. They are a great and very enjoyable way of developing your abilities and there are grade levels for every level of ability. With our guidance we will make sure you are most prepared for your exams.
Playing for fun?
If you want lessons purely for the enjoyment and satisfaction of learning a new instrument and a new skill, then that’s a great reason to start.
Playing in a band isn’t for everyone at the start, but it may be as your ability and confidence grows. If you fancy having an individual tryout lesson to discover more about playing the drums, or maybe want to buy lessons for a friend, come along to MM Drum School in Derby and give it a go.
