Belinda said: Really enjoyed the class (unfortunately couldn’t attend the second half of the course as I broke my ankle and was immobilised). The classes gave me a great foundation for drumming.

Bridgette said: I signed up to the beginners course to explore my interest in drumming and learn more about what skills are required and this course was exactly what I was looking for. Claudio did an amazing job of emphasising the basics and tying in how strong foundations are critical to master before being able to do something complex. I'm left-handed and felt well accounted for, with Claudio showing me my options as a drummer. The course included proper drumming technique, hand-foot and left-right coordination, basic grooves, and how to read drum sheet music. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning the drums!
