About DrumWise

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 95!

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. Our tutors are highly experienced teachers and players that are fully DBS checked and can offer advice to students about everything related to drumming.

Our unique DrumWise syllabus includes hundreds of worksheets and song transcriptions plus original play-along backing tracks which are available for free to all DrumWise students (who have at least one lesson per month) through our password-protected Student Area. Please Contact us if you don’t have lessons with us and would like access (an annual subscription of £35).

The DrumWise studio in Otham, near Maidstone, is a purpose built, sound-proofed, air conditioned drum studio that is the best teaching facility in the area, with a waiting area with free WiFi. Subject to availability, lessons are given seven days a week and throughout the school holidays and can be booked easily on our Booking Page at a time that suits you.

Our Virtual Lessons require the student to have a good Internet connection, a laptop or tablet and a drum kit or practice pad (or just pots & pans)!

DrumWise puts on an annual concert where our students have the opportunity to play on stage in front of an audience, including their family and friends. Contact us for details about the next concert.
