Kent’s Leading
Drum School

Established in 2004, DrumWise offers one-to-one drum tuition for all ages and abilities as well as drumming events, workshops and masterclasses.

Our lessons take place at the DrumWise studio in Maidstone, termly in schools throughout Kent and virtually using Zoom. To date, our youngest student started lessons aged 4 and our oldest is still drumming at over 100!

There is no need to block book or pay for multiple lessons as we offer a pay as you learn service. One-off lessons are available for beginners that want to see if drumming is for them or more advanced players who want to brush up on their skills.

The content of lessons is tailored to the individual’s requirements which includes following the DrumWise syllabus, learning different styles of drumming, learning songs, improving technique, working towards Duke of Edinburgh Awards (DofE) and Rockschool graded exams.

*As well as regular drum education our teachers can help with: transcription skills, backing/click track creation and use of electronics in a live environment. (*Check before booking as not all our teachers are able to offer these).

It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I have for DrumWise and the teachers, they have continuously inspired me and passed on their passions for drumming. I wouldn’t be who I am today without drums and I wouldn’t have drums without DrumWise.

My daughter is really enjoying her lessons with DrumWise and has learned lots in the couple of months since she started. Tom is a friendly, patient, knowledgeable and positive teacher. My daughter finds he explains things well while keeping the lessons fun and interesting. The studio and ease of booking lessons are both excellent too. We would definitely recommend DrumWise.
