At Dales Drum Shop we feel lessons should be as much fun as they are informative. No matter if you’re a complete beginner or an experienced road player, our one-on-one, side-by-side instruction will help to refine the drummer in you. We will teach you the rudiments and the fundamental building blocks of drumming. From classic Jazz to double bass rock, learn how to read and write the music you’re playing behind the kit. Need to learn marimba for concert band? How about poly-rudiments on the snare? Maybe it’s hand percussion to join in a local drum circle. At Dales we work with all levels and styles of drummers.
