Lessons: Beginning to Advanced

Learn basic or advanced techniques. Supposedly rudiments are the necessary basis for playing the drums. But for students who are not so advanced, or just beginning, it is an absolute mystery why they have to struggle with what they feel to be boring technical exercises when all they really want to do is just play. But the rudiments are not boring at all if you can apply the new figure you've learned in its simple form directly to the drum set. With practice, our excellent instructors can show you the way. Students learn technique, reading and a variety of styles. All Drum World teachers are professional drummers.

Scheduling lessons:

Call us at 650-572-9900 to schedule your lessons. You may request a day, time and instructor. Schedules vary per instructor. Teachers are paid directly by the student. Lesson rates vary per teacher. Each studio is equipped with two drum sets (for teacher and student). Lessons are also available for xylophone, marimba, timpani, bongos, djembe, and conga. Periodically, Drum World holds master classes and clinics by various pro drummers. Have Fun, Play Drums!

PDP M5 kit

Pacific's (PDP) M5 is a breakthrough kit. Not because of a new technology or state-of-the-art innovation, but because it’s an all maple kit for an unheard-of price tag. So, why is maple the preferred material for drum making? Because of its inherent sonic qualities. Maple sounds warm, yet punchy, it projects and has pleasing tonal qualities that make it very musical. Drum manufacturers have been singing maple’s praises for decades, but it was only available to a select few. Now, every drummer can enjoy the sweet sound of maple and look good doing it. M5 five-piece kits include F.A.S.T™-sized 8x10" and 9x12" rack toms, 12x14" floor tom with legs, 18x22" kick drum and matching 5x14" snare drum. 7x8" and 14x16" add-on toms are also offered in each finish. Great drum kit for clubs, studio, and those on a budget. Order yours today through Drum World.

 

Gretsch Catalina Birch kit

The sound of Birch returns with the new Gretsch Catalina Birch Series. These drums feature the distinctive sound of Birch shells: Explosive attack with a deep low-end fundamental. Catalina Birch shells are finished with 30-degree bearing edges and natural interiors to produce a Gretsch sound that is filled with tonal punch and depth. This standard configuration includes traditional sized 8”x12” and 9”x13” toms, which blend quick response with deep, full tones. The 16”x16” floor tom for provides enhanced low-end depth. Classic Gretsch features include mini Gretsch lugs, 9020 tom and FT leg brackets, 4945 tom mount plate, ball-socket double tom mount, matching bass drum wood hoops. Drums are finished in high-quality, durable wraps or in high gloss UV burst lacquer. That 'Great Gretsch Sound'. Order yours today from Drum World.
